Play Telephone With SYNESTHESIA 2009 2/25-2/28

On September 22, 2008, a poet was asked to select and open a fortune cookie. Two weeks later, she presented her work to a painter. Two weeks after that, the painter's work was presented to a puppetry collective. And then another artist, and then another artist... eventually, ten in all.

From February 25-28, 2009, the assembled works of all ten artists will be presented live, in-sequence, at the Wild Project in New York City's East Village.

Witness the next stage in the convergence of media. Now in its third season, Synesthesia is a live, annual event which unites a select and diverse range of arts and artists for four days only.

This year's show is directed by Brooklyn-based artists Ilana Manaster and Gregory Stuart Edwards, and offers up an evening of original film, music, painting, performance, dance, and cuisine.
