Synopsis
July’s first full-length performance work. The first act revolves around a girl and her mother. The girl is either sick or pretending to be; the mother is either human or pretending to be. The second act tells the story of a woman on an airplane who is circling an entity called The Titan – a planet, a monster, a hopelessly sad man who is following her. A chorus of audience members perforate the second act with tales of the illusive, perfect Love Diamond. The performance combines slide and video imagery, all controlled by July while she performs. This was July’s first collaboration with composer Zac Love. —Mirandajuly.com
