The Amphitheatre

An ancient semicircular structure where a voice from the stage reaches every seat with uncanny clarity.

The Whisper's Journey

You whisper:
    "hello there"

As it leaves your lips...
    "hello there"

Traveling along the curve...
    "HELLO THERE"

Reaching the far side...
    "< HELLO > < THERE >"

What arrives:
    "« HELLO » « THERE »"
Ancient amphitheatres were masterpieces of acoustic engineering. The curved seating focuses sound toward every listener while the hard stone reflects frequencies that help voices carry without amplification. A coin dropped on stage can be heard in the back row.
