"We believe the single person on stage gives us the opportunity to connect and focus on the uniqueness of human being," states United Solo. "Through the exploration of existential themes, solo artists reflect upon political, sexual, economical, religious, and social diversity. This diversity unites us all in a constellation of unique solos."
