A THOUSAND WAYS Part Two: An EncounterFelixism Creation
FROM ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST ACCLAIMED THEATER COMPANIES, A PERFORMANCE IN THREE PARTS ABOUT COMMUNION, DISTANCE, AND RECONNECTION.
600 HIGHWAYMEN’S A THOUSAND WAYS
We are closer than we think
A proposition for how to begin again. To meet distance and difference with curiosity. Nested at the center of an empty space is a small table bisected by glass. You sit at the table, opposite a stranger, with a stack of notecards and a set of instructions to guide you. In a time when our already-strained co-existences and interactions are further fractured and flattened by virtual gatherings, A Thousand Ways: Part Two is your chance to reconsider what you think you know about a person– including yourself. What will come from this private piece of theater? Everything we need is already here, just you and me.
There are a thousand ways to do this
From here is a tunnel
Shall we dig a little deeper
You are the actor
Can you get underneath this
I am the actor
We have to start some place
Why
not
here
just
You
and
Me.

Important Information for Part Two: An Encounter
Because this experience is for you and one other audience member, it cannot take place without your presence.
What COVID-19 safety protocols are in place for this event?
Masks are required throughout the duration of the event. The two audience members will be seated across from one another and separated by a clear partition. Hand-sanitizer units are placed throughout the building. There will be no physical contact between audience members or with staff. We will be sanitizing chairs and surfaces within the venues after every performance.
Can I participate in this performance with another member of my household?
The experience is for two people who do not know each other.
What if I did not attend Part One?
A Thousand Ways is a triptych of encounters between strangers. Guided by a score of instructions, questions, prompts, and physical directives, people who have never met build a series of performances for one another. Each part of A Thousand Ways is a self-contained, complete artistic experience, and the three parts can be experienced in any order. For Hong Kong audiences, A Thousand Ways begins with Part Two.
What will I be doing?
You’ll be sitting across from someone, reading (sometimes aloud and sometimes in silence) from a stack of notecards. Sometimes you’ll be given things to say or small tasks to do. You and the person across from you will stay seated at the table the entire time.
What else do I need to know?
Due to the intimate nature of this experience, we cannot accommodate late arrivals.
