A Sinking Ship & Theater in Quarantine Production
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’ × 4’ white box into a cosmic madhouse.
Inspired by Theater in Quarantine’s 2020 streaming hit, and New York Times Critic's Pick, this reimagined 7th Voyage expands the original digital work into an in-person cinematic experience — a slapstick adventure that becomes a poignant meditation on the tug-of-war between the versions of ourselves we can never escape.
“A truly impossible, impressive piece…"
Helen Shaw, Vulture
“Adventurous and rewarding… a sly and playful meditation on identity.”
Charles Isherwood, The Wall Street Journal
