Etiquette

by Rotozaza

"Gripping" says the New York Times

’62 Center for Theatre and Dance and Mass MoCA present an intimate two-person performance in a public space where you are the performers! British artists Rotozaza will reprise their sold-out New York City performance of Etiquette. Etiquette is a half-hour experience for two people in a public space. There is no-one watching – no one else is aware of it. You wear headphones which tell you what to say to each other, or to use one of the objects positioned to the side. There is a kind of magic involved - for it to work you just need to listen and respond accordingly. Etiquette is theatre at its most raw; it is live, insightful, philosophical and incredibly unique. The participants are both the actors and the audience, and the show offers the fantasy of being able to speak without having to think what to say.

’62 Center for Theatre and Dance will present Etiquette at Tunnel City Coffee, at 100 Spring Street in Williamstown, October 6^th to 10^th from noon to 6 pm. Reservations can be made by calling 413-597-2425. Tickets are free. There will be 12 “spots” each day for two people.

Etiquette has been performed across the world and has been translated into 10 languages. The UK’s Guardian says, “Etiquette explores the gap between language and meaning. In creating an entirely private space in a public setting, something extraordinary happens.” The New York Times UrbanEye’s video can be seen on the ’62 Center website. “This is a magical, unthreatening experience… the act of relinquishing responsibility for thought, word and action is unique and the effect is unmissable.” British Theatre Guide

For tickets, visit the Williams ’62 Center Box Office Tues-Sat, 1-5 pm or call (413) 597-2425. For more information, please visit http://62center.williams.edu/
