SOMEONEPLEASELISTENANDUNDERSTAND (they're wiretapping our brains) Comes to The Brick

In an observation room deep beneath the Capital, a new surveillance program launches to discover threats to the American people. Secret agents hack phones, computers, sex cams, security feeds, and even minds in the name of homeland security. Functioning as a series of pre-recorded episodes as well as a live performance, agents switch between different streams spying on flagged citizens who are struggling with forming their identities amidst a sea of technological, governmental, and societal restrictions.

SOMEONEPLEASELISTENANDUNDERSTAND (they're wiretapping our brains) will play at The Brick (579 Metropolitan Aveat Lorimer Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn) 1/24 - 1/28, Tickets ($20) may be purchased online at www.bricktheater.com or by calling 866-811-4111.
