TELEPHONE by Arian Reines

From The Foundry Theater in New York.

Inspired by Avital Ronnell's The Telephone Book; Technology, Schizophrenia, and Electric Speech, Reines' TELEPHONE connects Watson and Bell, a famous 19th century schizophrenic, and a series of cell phone calls to form a tender and ferociously poetic meditation on invention, love and the evolution of human connection. Telephone begins performances February 6 at the Cherry Lane Theatre in the West Village.
