Kelly Gottesman live on Wayne State University Theatre stage

K.Gottesman's Description:

Self Talking, delves into questions we pose at various crossroads in our life. Who am I?
Where am I going? And how am I going to get there? These questions are poetically challenged by the voice of reason in my head, via a live broadcast from the UK, (Johannes Birringer at Nottingham Trent University). I am caught in a tug-o-war with my past self, current self and future self. I struggle to find my place within this triptych. My past self is projected on the screen behind me (streaming image). My future self is projected on the screen in front (ISADORA). I toggle back and forth between these two in order to find my current place
