The Haunting of a Salesman (2019)

Choice! It’s the best part of being a real human being.

‘The Haunting of a Salesman’ is a “solo” work created by John-William in 2019. 

A traveling salesman arrives home after yet another long day of travelling to who knows where, selling who knows what to who knows who. In his home the echoes of his life present themselves to him, in the creaks of the floor boards, the static of the radio and in the soft melodies hummed by an unknown figure in the corner of the room.

The Haunting explores loss and hope, will and longing, and the places that we place our love when the person it is meant for is no longer here.
