Alone, Together

Alone, Together is formed by two autonomous organisms, slowly stretching and contracting their bodies as they blindly navigate space with uncertain intention. With skin shaped from large volumes of Velcro, one coloured white, another black, the two opposites act individually, leaving chance to decide a moment of meeting. Ambiguous forms immobilise, have crunchy caterpillar contractions and robotic reactions; their soft breath is fragile while their bulk hostile. Together, they tentatively probe and grotesquely engulf one another, unable to separate once connected. The performance explores attachment in the human condition - threat, love and loss - a collective subjective response to the unknown.
