The Show...“In the experience of profound disconnection, when there are no more floors to crash through, the only way out is in”.
​This dynamic Australian work is a humorous and moving theatrical cycle that explores the painful depths of loneliness and the profound joy of aloneness. a/lone combines physical theatre, contemporary dance, and verbatim theatre with an evocative live original score. Written and directed by Janine McKenzie and featuring original music by Kirstin Honey, a/lone is brought to life by performers Xavier McGettigan and Stacey Carmichael. Supported by Geelong Arts Centre. 

​Project Connect is a group of independent Australian artists that uses group-devised physical theatre processes to explore the human condition. Project Connect is supported by Geelong Arts Centre's Creative Engine. ​​

Research has found that 'people who are disconnected lead sicker, sadder and shorter lives'. We wanted to have a conversation about the epidemic of loneliness. Audiences will see themselves and people they love in the stories we tell. This performance resonates deeply and continues to stay with you long after you leave the theatre.
