In this powerful and theatrical solo, co-choreographed with and directed by Emily Gualtieri, David Albert-Toth explores how our thirst for solitude flirts with our fear of being alone, and our infinite desires remain eternally unfulfilled. On stage, David speaks with irreverant humour about the absurdity of our primal desires, and of the unspeakable things we are ready to do to satisfy them. As the body shifts through states playing against the duo’s intricate choreographic writing, the piece invokes a global experience of vulnerability, scrutinizing the modern-day individual and, by extension, each one of us.
