The Intervention of Loneliness

“All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong?” - The Beatles The Intervention of Loneliness is a collaborative dance performance that looks at the issue of systemic loneliness and human disconnection. Developed from an earlier public intervention (Dance With Me) - in which Ming Poon traveled to different cities asking strangers on the street to slow dance with him - this performance invites us to confront systemic loneliness together onstage. Slow dancing becomes an act of resistance, as our bodies reach out, make contact and hold each other. How can we reclaim loneliness, rather than letting it own us? What has the pandemic taught us about it? How can we transform loneliness from a place of separation and isolation into a tool for collective action and solidarity? www.mingapur.com
