Soliloquy - Blue13 Dance Company

Soliloquy shares individual stories of what it feels like to be shuttered away and disconnected from touch, laughter, and sharing. It also investigates the flattening of human connection to social media and screens. Soliloquy asks how is the curated self in constant negotiation with reality? How does isolating behind a screen deepen our loneliness while simulating connection? This piece relies on the participation of the audience, and one of the goals is to enliven conversation and connection between the strangers who attend. Audiences are integrated into the story, with some sitting for dinner with a quarreling family, selecting the music that plays, or even becoming the focus of the work. Meeting at the intersection of technology, disruption, inclusion, and diaspora, each performance is an exciting and unique adventure, shared in a singular experience by those in attendance. At points during the performance, participants may gather to break bread, toast, and engage in discourse with fellow guests.
