Idle Spirit
Written by Justin Locklear
Directed by Josh David Jordan
Filmed by Chad Windham and Josh David Jordan
May 6-16, 2021
The final chapter of the virtual series Ghosts in the Kitchen is written and performed by Ochre Artist in Residence, Justin Locklear, and called Idle Spirit.
The one-act play is an engaging story of a man in a kitchen full of telephones, seeking voices of affirmation and understanding to end his surreal crisis of identity. Idle Spirit is a captivating tale of isolation, weaving in and out of the mischievous late night air. The universal need for validation comes in waves, as his world grows closer to a dream, and he is left with the sensation of “Feelin’ so ordinary, when you realized you couldn’t fly.”
“Idle Spirit is comical, absurd and often sad…Mr. Locklear would seem to be reflecting on the nature of authentic connection.”
