“Solo Dialogues” manifests as a participatory performance event crossing over three countries, transcending physical and virtual, in reflection of our current global environmental situation - the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic.
The event is to be experienced in physical galleries as well as through virtual platforms. Two distinct experiences are curated for audience participating in the event; the “unprivileged” and the “privileged”. “Solo Dialogues” seek to situate the relationship between the two camps/groups through the notion of production and consumption, addressing the inequality of power exposed and exacerbated under the influence of Coronavirus.
Who is in control? Who has choice, power and freedom? Who is serving, who is being served, and for what purpose? When centralized control might be the most effective in navigating through a disaster, when personal freedom needs to be sacrificed for personal safety, to what extend should power be granted? To what extend should freedom be controlled/ confined?
