Utopian Hotline (Utah)

Step into the cosmic conversation with Theater Mitu’s latest creation out of Brooklyn, New York. Inspired by the 1977 NASA Voyager mission, which launched a vinyl recording of natural sounds found on Earth into space, as well as the uncertainty and isolations in our world today, this experimental performance begs the question: if we were to send another message into the distant future, what message would we send? Part vinyl recording and part live performance, Utopian Hotline uses real voicemails left on a public hotline and to create a moment of community, while inviting audience members around a communal table to re-imagine our shared future. What You’ll Experience: – This is a non-narrative performance installation, which is experienced entirely on headphones. Think of it as a puzzle and the missing piece is you. The headphones act as a tether, connecting you to the performers. – This is an immersive installation. You will be invited to remove your shoes upon entrance to the exhibit and choose a spot to sit on a comfortable pink carpet. We are happy to support any additional accessibility needs. – Each performance is approximately 45min in duration with multiple performances occurring on each day (please see the schedule for exact timings). – There is no intermission.
