Examines intimacy, alienation, and our longing for authentic connection in the digital age. Two performers’ relationship to a mundane prop transforms, exploring technology as a surrogate for human connection, with an original score by Dylan Fujioka.
Directed by Mamie Green, Volta fuses physicality, theatricality & multidisciplinary approaches to performance. Green holds a BFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts and has performed and taught across the US, Europe, and the UK and is the recipient of prestigious awards and grants from the German Consulate General, the US Embassy, Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, Community Engagement, and more.
