It is often said that growing up is something to be treasured - - but when in the midst of it, growing up feels less like a bedazzled box and more like a cage that we cant wait to be on the other side of; to be a grown-up and free from the curious confusion that riddles our young minds. Of course, when we achieve that oh-so-freeing status, we wish only to return to those carefree versions that we once were. Anything but the present seems to be the driving force in so many people's lives.
Dialogue with a Mannequin is a show that follows a young girl in her whimsical journey towards adult-hood, in learning to look inside rather than out as she stumbles and strides through life. The flights of fancy that play out in her mind spill onto the stage and give the audience a chance to crawl inside the various misfires and musings that usually lay hidden.
