An attempt to approach the radio play genre through what surrounds it, Philoctetes: Rehearsals (Act I) is the first act in imagining the processes of a non-existent play through the play's rehearsals and the life of its actors outside practice hours.

This radio play is made almost entirely out of found sounds, with occasional interjections by the artist.
