Declining Solo @ Jacksons Lane
Jun 6 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Combining text with choreography, video and specially commissioned music, Declining Solo is the sequel to Two Destination Language’s award-winning Near Gone. A woman returns to visit her family home and misses the one thing she values most: the father she remembers.

“It’s in a place where there’s singing and dancing and eating and drinking and being merry, and of friendships and familial links, as the total core of communities. It’s in a place where we still have mountains unadorned. And where the summer smells of sun, and the winter smells of burning coal.”
