Flash Apparently Official

I manipulated an audio sample of Walter Cronkite saying "Flash apparently official, President Kennedy is dead."

Then standing with a wooden stool, a large orange cone, and a small brown paper bag, I had the audio track play from inside the cone, as well as the theatre sound system. I then slowly started breathing faster and faster until I hyperventilated.

I breathed into the bag to prevent losing consciousness, doing this cycle of actions three times. The stage then goes black and the performance ends.
