Apocalyptic Exodus Scenarios at Highways

Highways Performance Space presents the cathartic multimedia one-man show, Apocalyptic Exodus Scenarios, written and performed by Joey Halter for two nights only on Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1, 2015.

Blending philosophy with absurdist comedy, psychedelic lighting, video projections, and rock and roll, Halter’s Apocalyptic Exodus Scenarios is a humorous existential exploration of life’s enigmas.

Part confessional mixed with pure fantasy, Apocalyptic Exodus Scenarios explores the struggle to change and grow, with a healthy dose of levity thrown into the mix. It captures the battle of the soul as it self-destructively tries to cling to old patterns. Through raw, stream of consciousness rantings that involve masturbation, aliens, and mindless jobs, colorful characters Charlie, Dave, Gary, Jim, Randy, and William collectively take an existential quest, through darkness and light, in search of meaning. The work, a collection of related monologues, tells the story of one man as many men –– a reflection on the myriad lives that we all inhabit within a single lifetime, much like nested Russian dolls.

The 90-minute event starts at 8:30pm at Highways Performance Space (18th Street Arts Center, 1651 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404). General admission tickets are $20 in advance ($15 for students, Highways members, and seniors) and can be purchased via the highways site. Reservations may also be made by calling 310-315-1459.
