Fourteen, livestreamed from empty theatres around the world, independent artists reflect on time, isolation and spectatorship in a marathon of 14-minute dance solos.

As stages remain empty during this unprecedented period of social distancing, theatres too have been forced into isolation.

How are dance artists around the world responding to these uncertain conditions, and how can we find new ways to experience dance, together but apart?

Join 19 independent artists from Indonesia, Italy, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand as they reclaim the stage through the format of 14-minute solos – completely alone with neither crew or audience in sight.

Optional live commentary from guest commentors providing insightful perspectives to the solos further explores new possibilities for online performance and intimate viewing.

From an outdoor theatre in Italy steeped in history to an intimate independent theatre in the suburbs of Bangkok, be transported to performance venues around the world as night and day dance around one another.
