Love Alone Anthology Project

Love Alone Anthology Project

The Love Alone Anthology Project is a multi-disciplinary performance inspired by the poetry of AIDS activist Paul Monette (1945-95). Galvanized by his powerful 1988 volume “Love Alone: 18 Elegies for Rog”, written as his lover died senselessly during the height of the American AIDS epidemic, danceTactics interprets and embodies these stream-of-conscious monologues into short dance/theater performances that may be performed as a whole or as a selection of individual “chapters”. The final expression of the project–a suite of short solos, duets, and trios performed by men of multiple generations and sexual identities–are designed to be presented in multiple contexts and for multiple communities, emphasizing our common struggles as well as our common humanity.

The Love Alone Anthology Project features performances by Shawn Brush, Aidan Feldman, Clarence Brooks, and Brendan McCall, visual art by Robert Flynt and original music by Maesa Pullman and Dalal Bruckmann
