On a simple phone call, you and another audience member – nameless strangers to one another and follow a carefully crafted set of directives. Over the course of the journey, a portrait of each other emerges through fleeting moments of exposure and the simple sound of an unseen voice.

A performance about communion, distance, and reconnection from one of the world’s most acclaimed nontraditional theater companies. Guided by a score of instructions, questions, prompts, and physical directives, people who have never met build a series of performances for one another. A Thousand Ways explores the line between strangeness and kinship, distance and proximity, and how the most intimate assembly can become profoundly radical.

Performances by 600 HIGHWAYMEN can be attented without the Covid-19 certificate. A THOUSAND WAYS. Part I: A Phone Call can be experienced from home on the phone (in English).
