Inspired by MIT Professor Sherry Turkle's book, "Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other", this program examines the recent phenomena of social media and device culture as it overlaps with our experience of live performance. Showcasing individual members of the ensemble as "part/alone," and the ensemble as "parcel/together," Lorelei delivers a candid and diverse program of early and contemporary repertoires that invites audiences and performers alike to consider the necessary intimacy and selflessness of ensemble work, alongside the necessary preservation of the striking individuals within it.
