Telephone by Ariana Reines is a network for riveting acts of speech, and silence, and listening. I saw the play and never forgot it. The audience was lit like a switchboard by its storms of courage and mystical love.\u003cbr\u003e—Rachel Kushner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eI have been WAITING FOR THIS BOOK! When I saw it in the theater every word and motion fell into magic stride, utterly taxing the soul with its accuracy and mystery. The next night I was at the box office with a different friend and needing to return to my job is the only thing that kept me from the theater a third night. Examine for yourself the bewitching and sometimes misshapen communicative powers of life with the poetry goddess of the stage, Ariana Reines!\u003cbr\u003e—CA Conrad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTelephone is an uncanny parcel of theater in which the wishes of humans to speak with the dead meet the limits or the aspirations of technology. A woman wrapped in language is deemed insane and the lonely pastness of our present walks around calling for itself. Telephone is a wild and visionary piece of art that announced to me a poet who is always tearing the future open like a trapped animal—their eyes reflect us. Don't look! We must. Bless you and love you Ariana for this great work.\u003cbr\u003e—Eileen Myles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTelephone, the inspired and utterly original new tone poem of a play, probes feelings with the sensitivity and detachment of a heart surgeon. It is a trip from crisp clarity into near darkness, in which forms and faces lose their meaning, and voices go slippery and faint.\u003cbr\u003e—Ben Brantley, The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INVISIBLE COLLEGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53699962798394,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/0220\/5754\/files\/TelephoneFrontCover_square_2048.jpg?v=1783472236","url":"https:\/\/invisiblecollege.art\/products\/telephone","provider":"INVISIBLE COLLEGE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
