/ECHO

"/Echo simultaneously unfolds over three decades and one long night. Told in a series of vignettes, the show inspects the universal experiences of loneliness and human connection in intimate detail. Souls meet, fall in love, and betray one another in sporadic, reoccurring fashion over 37 years – suggesting a deeper connection between all humanity that has been abused, ruptured, and repaired. It dares to ask us what is love, what is pain, and what is time while challenging the social constructs of gender, race, and relationships. As performance poetry, the lyrical movement of the show ebbs and wanes like an erratic ocean concurrently beautiful, haunting, and dangerous."
- Herman Gomez, Dramaturg

"Conceived as a performance art piece that morphed into a 70min. theatrical production, / Echo deals with the various definitions of love -- in all of its shapes & forms. This piece incorporates movement, music, spectacle, and lyrical narrative to communicate to its audience. Its main goal is to provide a unique and immersing experience for its audiences that will challenge their perceptions of what it really means to feel alone in a world in which it is impossible to escape human contact. A world in which time & its shadows, haunt us. Loss, social injustice, clinical anxiety, racism, romance & taboo are only some of the conversations /Echo brings to life in this intimate stage. Meaning, understanding, and aesthetic will be put into experimentation as the audience embarks in a journey full of universal stories lived from midnight, until dawn."
