The Human Voice - Trailer

A short trailer from our 2021 production of 'The Human Voice'
Written by Ang Collins, Fiona Spitzkowsky, Georgia Symons, Jean Tong, Lewis Treston and Thomas De Angelis

Taking inspiration from Jean Cocteau’s 1930 play of the same name - Pericope presents a contemporary exploration of telephone conversation. A sextuple bill of new works from six of Australia's most exciting young playwrights and a choir! A showcase of humanity’s strangest phone-based quirks: connection to strangers when a wrong number is dialed, the awkwardness of phone-sex, and the imperfect possibilities of true connection via the phone. From the ritual of the family phone call to the uncertain menace of surveillance and privacy, THE HUMAN VOICE is a unique theatrical collaboration that change the way you think about your phone.
