Eight voices in search of connection.
 
In a world shaped by screens, eight strangers gather for a support group focused on internet addiction—each searching for clarity, intimacy, and a way back to themself. Dave Malloy’s Octet is a haunting and exhilarating a cappella musical that fuses extraordinary vocal writing with piercing emotional truth. As the group shares their stories, the piece becomes a searching meditation on technology, loneliness, transcendence, and what it means to be fully present in modern life.
