a/lone
by Stacey Carmichael
In the experience of profound disconnection, when there are no more floors to crash through, the only way out is in.
This dynamic Australian work explores the painful depths of loneliness and the profound joy of aloneness. a/lone combines physical theatre, contemporary dance, and verbatim theatre with an evocative live original score. Directed by Janine McKenzie and featuring original music by Kirstin Honey, a/lone is brought to life by performers Xavier McGettigan and Stacey Carmichael.
"IN THE EXPERIENCE OF PROFOUND DISCONNECTION, WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE FLOORS TO CRASH THROUGH, THE ONLY WAY OUT IS IN."
