ALL THE LONELY WOMEN
Have you ever been so lonely that you would talk to anyone who would listen?
Inés Braun, in collaboration with Leigh Flayton, brings this question to life in the "All The Lonely Women" workshop at the Rattlestick Theater's Global Forms Festival.
All the Lonely Women is a queer fairytale about the strangeness of dating during the pandemic. Lola, a photographer from Argentina, decides to immerse herself in the New York City dating scene. It's been a long time since she's been in love: work and her temporary visa have kept her from seeking new relationships - is it worth it when one has a passport with an expiration date? Still, she decides to take the plunge and put herself out there in order to find the woman of her dreams. But there's a problem: it's March 2020. As the pandemic rages, Lola's quest for romance intensifies - and her dating life takes her to places she could never have imagined. Infused with magical realism, the play explores the poignancy - and inevitable humor- of love and longing during a time of isolation and separation.
Do not miss a production that embraces art at its best, where raw and insightful scraps of an artist's life spark a conversation about growth, patience, and love.
