I need a topic for my drama solo performance?

Question

Hi could you guys please give me suggestions on any topic that I could perform for my drama solo? I'm struggling to think of an interesting issue that will have an impact on the audience, and it's also difficult playing various characters and scenes if I am going to be by myself on stage. I was thinking of doing a conference with the world leaders, and one is eventually killed by the other due to a clash in beliefs, but I'm not comfortable with this idea.

It is a non-naturalistic performance, so I could use music in the background, a dance, a song, video projection etc.

I just need basic topics for now and then I will work on turning it into a play later. Please give me more ideas, issues!

Answer 1

Action is my thing! Maby you could like, be on the run from some strange creatures,or people, or something with a chace. And be sure to mix it up with a little romance.  

Answer 2

For things like this Love is always a great topic. As it is a solo you could make use of a prob like a phone. This makes it easier to get around finding out new things. your heart could be broken and if you are really tallented you could set your solo over 20 or so years to show how your heart was truely broken. If you could pull off the change in charecter over time you would go extreamly well.

Good luck with your performance.

Answer 3

you could be upset about your loved one being in iraq

or about a memory of a harsh thing that happened in your past, and you cant remember all of it and all you remember are flash backs [movie projector] and it will in the end, explain why you have a certain strange phobia.
