One of Two Strangers
SAMPLE
JUNE 29 & 30 | 2023
Why must you leave me this way, gorgeous? Coexistence will never be satisfactory if one party is forever suffering. The societal outcast has no footing, little resources, and no one in their immediate circle who can give them a loving hand; ultimately, left to rot. Beneath the baking sun. For $1.29. Thirsty. With no skin care! But we witness them, they're not going anywhere, we will always witness them. Whether we choose to shield our eyes and sulk beneath ignorance, or flash them a nod of acknowledgement and spare them some pocket change, they are there.
This piece is a continuation of Esteban Rosales and Landon Grant's, Two Strangers on a Bridge, originally performed for Arizona State University's, Something Fresh I dance festival.
