Description

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. This Australian team is assisted by Geelong Arts Centre.

The difference between being lonely and being alone is a subject matter I always find super interesting, and it is beautifully conveyed during this show. The two performers have a suberb sense of balance and body control, plus a great connection that really makes this piece work supurbly. I try to see something contemporary every Fringe, and this was one of the best examples I've had the pleasure of seeing. Thank you so much for bringing it over all the way from Aus!

Part play, part documentary, the show was highly informative on the topic of loneliness and emotionally captivating. It was also suitably fast-paced to touch on many facets while still making an elegant arch towards a very positive ending.

Verbatim and movement are used to break down the implications of modern isolation and suggest more positive ways to look at the issue.
