Ariana Reines’s uncanny tryptych inspired by Avital Ronell’s The Telephone Book connects technological innovation to the spectral in three distinct acts - a vaudeville of Alexander Graham Bell and Watson making their discovery (in this production split into a further trio of multiple Bells and Watsons), a medical examination of Miss St., a patient of Carl Jung’s who believed she contained a spiritual telephone, and a catalog of contemporary phone calls that articulate oscillations between proximity and distance. The University of Puget Sound production featured original choreography by Jody Kuehner (Cherdonna Shinatra).
