Event Description
Soliloquium is a competition to amplify the dramatic skills of the young actors. Soliloquy is a monologue addressed to oneself; thoughts spoken out loud without addressing anyone. As they speak alone on a stage, facing an audience, emotionally trapped in their own minds, characters share feelings and desires that they will never articulate to the other characters in the play.
