1-800-3592-113592

1-800-359-2183592 is an experimental, interdisciplinary performance work by CHILD, a company of 15 dancers, actors, musicians, clowns, choreographers, composers, video artists, writers, and designers who make large scale interdisciplinary performances at the collision point between theater, dance, music and experimental performance.

Tired of empty manufacturers' promises of value and authenticity, S (spelled $ without the line), who works at her family-owned jewelry franchise called DiFrederico’s at the Willow Grove Mall, decides to get out and find something more….um…. but the local news station reporting on the event confuses it with an incident of “exposing oneself to the sun.” A nearby herd of Zebras are ripping on guitars and as the shredding intensifies the jewelry store is dug out from inside a cake, offering sticky, ruined product to the audience to try and buy their brand loyalty.

1-800 exists in a gooey retail dynasty fantasia that seeps through the cracks of the narrative, searing the DiFrederico’s jingle into your memory. Welcome to the jewelry depot, it’s DiFrederico’s. 1-800-359-2113592, yeah.
