About This Show

A re-ordering in a room of things people have said. In person. Through the television. Over the phone. We’ll listen to the words again, translated through one person. Take me through this on the ground is an ongoing performance project of language by Joey Weiss and Matthew Korahias, an unexpected encounter with words, excerpts of which were recently featured at Little Theatre and Prelude 2016.
