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. This conversation offers a penetrating, visceral look into the poet's mind soon before her suicide. 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. Deeply personal on multiple levels, We Should Meet in Air creates a unique and fascinating collaboration between present and past and the echoes that haunt us all.
