In 1977, psychologist Arthur Aron, together with a group of research colleagues, published the article "The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness”. In his research, Aron assembled 36 predefined questions designed for dialogue between two strangers, so that they gradually become more and more personal. According to the study, openness to another person and placing ourselves in a position of vulnerability develops strong intimacy that will lead to immediate love.

“Would you like to be famous?
When did you last sing to yourself?
To someone else?
What is your most terrible memory?
How close and warm is your family?”
4 dancers.... 36 questions....

Between a talk show and Sunday confession, Q&A shares intimate moments from the performers’ lives and creates a 50-minute event, more like a sharing than a traditional performance. At the start of the show, the questions are handed out to the audience. After the show, the audience is invited to stay in the venue and carry on this conversation.

Ultimately, we are all looking for connections with other people and we believe these 36 questions are a way of breaking down barriers and getting to know the individual. If we used this experiment and questions not only to find love but mutual understanding and a connection between people both within the same community and within communities, then we can increase understanding and tolerance.
