Description
"We Should Meet in Air" is a live, over-the-phone interactive experience designed for one audience member at a time. Framed as a phone call on her final birthday, the production allows audience members the ability to speak with a Sylvia Plath imagined through the eyes of the show’s creator, Stepy Kamei. Plath’s words from her poetry, letters and interviews infuse the narrative of the audience’s interaction with the poet. The production reaches into Kamei’s mind as well, transforming this production into an exploration of the impact an artist can have on themselves and others even long after their death.
