OR LESS

I AM

MORE OR LESS I AM is adapted from Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" by Karin Coonrod with original music by Colin Jacobsen, Kyle Sanna, Eric Jacobsen, Alex Sopp.

2010-Present

With Compagnia de' Colombari MOLIA has played in many diverse spaces all around New York including Barge Music, Marcus Garvey Park, Grant's Tomb, Joe's Pub, The Old Stone House, Walt Whitman Birthplace, Brooklyn Historical Society, Ft. Greene Park, The Winter Garden, Greene Space, Bryant Park, Roosevelt Island, DOC Manhattan, to name a few.

MORE OR LESS I AM is a declaration of interdependence. We claim that it is not enough to read Whitman alone in our rooms. It is urgent to experience the words out loud in community and perhaps hear them for the first time--when the performance is witnessed in the large company of strangers, when the axis is changed to provoke our consciousness, when strangers become community. For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
