#txtshow (on the internet)

Overview

Nearing the end of a 12-country, 35-city, 175-show virtual world tour (during a global pandemic), performance artist Brian Feldman (Dishwasher, VFF, Wawa® Shabbawa) brings his critically acclaimed, award-winning project back to the Philadephia Fringe Festival for “An experience unlike anything in live theater.” – DC Metro Theater Arts

This crowdsourced, immersive, multiscreen performance features a mysterious character named txt (pronounced “text”) who recites a script written anonymously in real-time by YOU! It’s the best show you’ll write all year.

Created and performed by Brian Feldman, this LIVE*, interactive performance takes place on Zoom, originating from his home in Washington, Douglass Commonwealth.

This project was supported by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities.

“In the year of virtual Fringe, I was hoping for at least one show that fully embraced the digital medium. I got my wish with #txtshow.”
– Asheville Stages

“With #txtshow, Feldman has succeeded at creating something that tests the limits of theater as a form and plays with the boundaries of the performer-spectator relationship.”
