Has anybody seen Ali?
Ali is alone, but she isn’t lonely. She’s fine. She doesn’t know where she is, but honestly, she’s fine. She has a microphone and loop station and feels content filling time with roleplays and soundscapes, summoned from her own memories and voice. She’s fine. But she still talks to ‘Kitty’…
Loop combines new writing, performance, and live looping audio to look at how loneliness can trick you into feeling content, and the steps you can take to overcome it. It’s warm, playful and honest, and will give you the chance to reflect on your own personal experience as you observe Ali.
