The Alonetimes

The Alonetimes guides six extraordinary performers through a web of memories, times and parallel worlds: a druid by a fire made of broken iPads, two boys at a piano just before a meteorite impact, the voice of a lost love on a walkie-talkie. Scenes like found objects from personal history. Composers Jennifer Walshe and Philip Venables explore loneliness in a new music theatre piece, sharpened by constant digital presence and intensified by crisis. The soloists appear as fragile time travellers, a broken consort that only finds resonance in togetherness. A piece about letting go of old burdens and the realisation that loneliness can only be overcome together.
