About
Red Phone is a one-of-a-kind performance that has been described as the theatrical equivalent to singing in the shower!
Part theatre and part social intervention, Red Phone is an audience-to-audience theatre performance that uses the intimacy of a phone call and the technology of a teleprompter. Free of charge, anyone can walk up and into the booths with a friend or family member and spend 5 minutes engaging in some of the most urgent, touching, thought provoking conversations written by some of the most exciting writers in Canada.
This event is offered 2 hours before and 1 hour after other Prismatic 2022 events taking place at Neptune Theatre.
For Boca del Lupo, collaboration is the core tenet of their creativity. Led by Sherry J. Yoon and Jay Dodge, the company consciously collaborates with artists diverse in culture and practice to create and present extraordinary performances in unconventional spaces.
