Someday Soon
About the Performance
Someday Soon explores the delicate dance between celebration and transition, using flowers as a poignant symbol for love, achievement, and personal growth. Through scenes of platonic intimacy, the piece delves into the complexities of questioning what it means to earn and embrace our own flowers. Someday Soon leaves us pondering the transformative power of embracing our own aspirations, free from fear.
Someday Soon creates a time and space to pair transition and celebration.
What does it mean to receive your flowers? Flowers can represent love, achievement, sympathy, emotions, opportunity or growth- ideas that we can either fear away from or yearn after.
How do we earn these flowers? Whether it’s by way of trusting each other or trusting ourselves, there is a softness that arrives to receive them.
The work pans through scenes of platonic intimacy exploring giving, taking, sharing, and receiving with one another. As some characters process through ambivalent feelings, it leaves us with the question: what happens when you stop fearing your own dreams?
