The Missing Shade of You: A Dance Dialog between L.A. Paul and Marcel Proust

What happens when you face a choice that plunges you into the unknowna choice of whether to accept a job that requires you to move to a different country, whether to become a parent, or whether to undergo medical treatments that can change your mood, your lifestyle, your gender? How can you decide what to do now, given that you dont know what your life will be like or even who you may be afterwards? You may learn by experience, but how can the past inform your future choices given the scourge of time on memory? THE MISSING SHADE OF YOU: A DANCE DIALOG BETWEEN L.A. PAUL AND MARCEL PROUST harnesses movement, music and the spoken word to explore two approaches to these questions: that of the contemporary philosopher L.A. Paul, who maintains that you can make such choices only by asking yourself, What future am I most curious about? and that of the early twentieth century writer Marcel Proust, who suggests that art may provide the insight you need to make an informed decision. Proust fans will take delight in the allusions to some of their favorite passages from In Search of Lost Time, while Paul fans will enjoy seeing how her theory of transformative choice can be embodied in dance. And those familiar with neither author will get a taste of what theyve been missing. Whose view best fits with your experience?
