In Twins and Aliens: a Musical TED Talk, Charlotte weaves personal stories with mythologies, symbols, foibles and bungling, touring through ancient megalithic sites that she is very much obsessed with and original music. Being a total amateur archaeologist and a grad student in mythology, Charlotte ponders the meaning/meaninglessness of all the duos and twin-nesses in her life, starting with her actual twin, and surveys the excavation site of her life: the whole pairing up thing we’re supposed to do and the desperate attempts to salvage something from the ruins. Can we find anything to salvage in the dirt? Who is this person she was born with? Who is the alien here?
This 60-minute show will include:
1. Original music by Charlotte, sung by Charlotte
2. Twin-talk: talking about being a twin
3. Archaeology-talk: talk about ancient, mysterious, confounding archaeological sites
4. Alien-talk: talk about otherness, alienness, and actual literal talk about off-planet life and visitors to earth, both metaphoric and literal
5. Confessions: we’re talking puberty, sex, not very nice thoughts about exes, self-apiphanies, and potentially alienating hot-takes on society and some esoteric woo-woo subjects
6. Heart-warming lovability
7. Comfortable seating
