2015 Musical
USA
Inspired by Mark Twain's morality tale "The Mysterious Stranger," Another Telepathic Thing is a prismatic and complex dance-theater parable. At once cynical and spiritual, the work centers on a charismatic stranger whose visit shatters the peace of a mythic hamlet. The medieval setting is echoed by a contemporary Hollywood reality, with a script that braids Twain's sublime writing with "found" text from years of auditions. It culminates in a subtle and startling exploration of the fragility of our human condition.
