Another Dialogue

What I say often counts for little; but my presence, the attitude of my soul, my future and past, what will be born in me, what has died in me, a secret thought, the stars supporting me, my destiny, thousands of mysteries encircling me, surrounding you - that is what speaks.

-Maurice Maeterlinck

In Another Dialogue, a looping late night conversation becomes a meditation on the masks we wear, the people we wish we were, and the secrets buried beneath our personas. Featuring a live score by musicians Mark Valadez, Cristi Miles and Elsa Dougherty, the interplay between performer and musician becomes another layer of dialogue, transforming quotidian conversation into a revelatory dismantling. Another Dialogue is an experiment in form and process, a site-specific performance in a found space.
