“Virtuosic!
Some of the new medium’s most imaginative work.”
“A truly impossible, impressive piece of quarantine theater... Work like ‘The 7th Voyage’ makes confinement a virtue, a prompt to imagination.”
Rewritten. Expanded. Reimagined.
Trapped in a time loop, space traveler Egon Tichy faces his own worst enemy: himself.
And he’s multiplying.
In this inventive fusion of live performance and digital sleight-of-hand, a single performer builds a cinematic sci-fi comedy in real time, transforming an 8'x4' white box into a cosmic madhouse.
From East Village closet to in-person cinematic experience.
Inspired by our 2020 streaming theater hit, this 7th Voyage is wholly reimagined as a mind-bending in-person performance—a slapstick cinematic adventure that becomes a poignant meditation on the tug-of-war between the versions of ourselves we can never escape.
This new in-person version pulls back the curtain on Joshua William Gelb's "virtuosic" (Jesse Green, New York Times) performance—the audience will simultaneously watch the behind-the-scenes action and the live composited video in an immersive cinematic environment.
In person and live-streamed tickets available. Streaming info coming soon.
