Meganarrative is an interactive installation. Audience walk into the room and pick up the telephone and hear instructions on listening to the previous person's story and continue the story after the beep. 

Meganarrative is inspired by metanarratives* and how they were created. It looks at the nature of storytelling and how stories go through changes through time and get affected by their time and surrounding cultures.
