Yes, I had the owner of an art gallery we were playing at decide he wanted to talk to me over the music while we were playing. Asking me to explain the history and origins and usage of a theremin while I'm trying to *play* it for an art show opening at his gallery was something of a mood-breaker. We keep the volume low enough at such shows to make people talking to each other in the gallery easy, but talking to us as performers feels like clumsily "breaking the fourth wall" of television or film.
