The Seat of Me is an intimate autobiographical solo performance written and performed by Giulia A.Cryan. Through storytelling, music, and minimalist staging, the piece follows one woman's journey across Rome, New York, Los Angeles, and London, exploring identity, migration, and the search for belonging.
Drawing on personal experiences, The Seat of Me reflects on artistic ambition, first love, family, and the moments that shape who we become. Fragments of Edith Piaf's music weave through the performance, creating a poetic dialogue between memory and self-discovery.
Funny, moving, and deeply personal, the show invites audiences to reflect on their own stories and asks a simple but powerful question: what happens when we finally sit with our past so we can stand in our lives?
Written from the perspective of a British-Italian artist living between cultures, the piece celebrates the complexity of belonging and the universal search for a place to call home.
