The Record
Opening Night: January 10, 2014
Closing: January 18, 2014
Theater: Public Theater
45 strangers come together for 61 minutes to show us who they are, and who they could be. Part theater, part dance, part group hallucination – vivid human assembly on an epic scale. The subject is us; the time is now. Led by Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone, 600 HIGHWAYMEN construct expansive performances that illuminate the inherent poignancy and theatricality of people together. The company’s six works, together, form a radical approach to making live art, not only in performance, but in process and aftermath.

The stars of The Record — all 45 of them — do not really do much. They stand stock still on a bare stage, strike some funny poses then walk around a bit. They do a little running, too, and assemble in groups and sometimes stretch out on the floor. Just now and then, one will extend a hand to touch another, or a young woman will fall backward into a man’s arms, in a moment of connection that registers with soft surprise.
