Loneliness Is A Terminal Disease is a choreopoem. It is various poems and monologues, combined with music and dance that comment on living with HIV and the quest for love.
The tradition of the choreopoem as a theatrical vehicle to explore the conditions of black life goes back to at least Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow Is Enuf. The genre remains popular, specifically in African-American theatre, largely because it allows multiple narratives to tell a collective, unifying story.
