A THOUSAND WAYS (PART THREE): AN ASSEMBLY
By 600 HIGHWAYMEN
Written and Created by Abigail Browde & Michael Silverstone
Obie Award-winning 600 HIGHWAYMEN present A THOUSAND WAYS (PART THREE): AN ASSEMBLY. The final experience of their triptych of encounters between strangers is an intimate reckoning—of how small we are in the face of awesome natural forces, and of our mutual dependence. AN ASSEMBLY tasks an audience of 16 strangers to reconstruct an evocative story of perseverance and ruin. This unique theatrical event tests the ways we arrange ourselves after so much time apart.
A THOUSAND WAYS is a triptych of performances that explore the line between strangeness and kinship, distance and proximity, and how the most intimate assembly can become profoundly radical.
Please note: You do not need to have attended A THOUSAND WAYS Parts One or Two to attend Part Three. Parties larger than two should not attend the same performance time as A THOUSAND WAYS (PART THREE): AN ASSEMBLY is meant to be experienced with an audience of strangers.
