Who will you be when you are the one in charge? What story will you create to explain what you did? 600 HIGHWAYMEN’s latest work, The Fever, examines how we assemble, organize, and care for our bodies and the bodies around us. Is it possible to feel the pain of others? How have we become who we are? What will become of us, and will we be alright?
"JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE GETTING A LITTLE CYNICAL ABOUT THE THEATRE … THINK ABOUT 600 HIGHWAYMEN.” –The New Yorker on Employee of the Year
“SIMPLE BUT SUBLIME … THE SHOW ALERTS US TO THE AWESOME STRANGENESS, AND THE UTTER ORDINARINESS, TOO, OF BEING ALIVE IN THE HERE AND NOW.” – The New York Times on The Record
About the Artists
600 HIGHWAYMEN creates original performances that offer new ways of seeing for today. Led by Abigail Browde and Michael Silverstone, their Obie-Award winning work has been lauded by the New Yorker, the New York Times, Village Voice, Flavorpill, and Time Out New York. They have made six acclaimed productions since 2009, including Employee of the Year, co-commissioned by Mount Tremper Arts.
The Fever is made possible with funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Theater Project, with lead funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Jerome Foundation, and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s New York Theater Program. The Fever was developed, in-part, at the 2015 Sundance Institute Theater Lab at MASS MoCA, and as part of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Process Space artist residency program in 2015, and residencies at the Park Avenue Armory, On the Boards, and St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church.
