Telephone

Coney

Telephone, a live online storytelling performance, returns for another run after a successful series of scratches...

Telephone is a live storytelling performance, with some very gentle (and optional) interaction, and conversations over a drink.It weaves together stories and games about connection across all kinds of distance, through a short and mostly true history of telecommunications. This performances is set to span timezones.Written and performed by Tassos Stevens, hosted in the Coney Zoom Bar.<blockquote>"Not only thematically eloquent in the way it is exploring fragility, connection and distance, but [...] also asking questions about what it means to be in a room and play together on Zoom. Coney are pushing at the boundaries of theatre and of technology"</blockquote><blockquote>- Lyn Gardner, Stagedoor</blockquote>~Some nice things people have said about previous outings of Telephone:<blockquote>"Beautiful, meditative stuff. It’s the best use of this platform for a theatre piece I’ve seen yet"</blockquote><blockquote>"Intimate, warm hearted &amp; thought provoking"</blockquote><blockquote>"Food for the soul"</blockquote><blockquote>"A wonderful example of how technology such as Zoom can be reimagined and used creatively... Felt properly energised afterwards"</blockquote>~Nice things other people have said about Jimmy Stewart… a previous storytelling piece by Tassos Stevens:<blockquote>"beguiling... as imaginative as magic realism" - Irish Times</blockquote><blockquote>"beautiful, simple, head scratching, heart bleeding" - Culture Wars</blockquote>~Sign up individually (one booking per screen) to join us in our Coney Zoom bar before the performance starts.
