Soliloquy, a site-specific, immersive dance experience by South Asian American choreographer Achinta S. McDaniel for Blue13 Dance Company, where audiences are transformed into active participants in this roving indoor/outdoor immersive dance experience, traversing the grounds and historic manors of Heritage Square. Attendees choose their own adventure, immerse themselves in the performance, follow performers while affecting the experience by being able to make choices including selecting the music, shaping the narrative, and choosing who dances the final solo.
The pandemic forced us into loneliness. The sole human connections were through interactions on flat screens. 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 critiques the reification of social media and Zoom as the standard for human interaction, by physically inviting audiences into the homes and lives of strangers.
Soliloquy takes place on Friday, May 31 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, June 1 at 8 p.m.; and Sunday, June 2 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 (students and 90031 residents); $25 Tier 2 (general admission - limited availability); $50 Tier 2 (includes appetizers); and $100 VIP (includes a pre-show reception with the dancers, special experiences, drinks, and appetizers – Please arrive at 7pm on May 31 and June 1; arrive at 6pm on June 2). Heritage Square Museum is located at 3800 Homer Street, Los Angeles, CA 90031.
