About Giulia A. Cryan
The Seat of Me is a raw, intimate one-woman show performed by Giulia A. Cryan at Theatre 3. Using just a chair, a few symbolic objects and fragments of Edith Piaf's music, Giulia retraces a journey from Rome to New York to Los Angeles — through ballet, vanished mentors, an immigration scare at LAX and an unexpected love story. The show asks what happens when we finally sit with our past so we can stand in our life. It is new writing that blends memory, identity and music into a personal theatrical journey.
Why see this show?
Stripped back to the essentials — a chair, objects and fragments of Piaf — this intimate one-woman show traces a life across continents with honesty and quiet power. Moving and thought-provoking new writing for anyone who has ever had to reckon with their past.
