84 is the number of cold calls it takes to successfully close a deal in the corporate sales world.

In this performance, Stephanie Handjiiska and Nelly Georgieva pose uncomfortable questions about the relationship between the market and dance work; about the dancer’s body, which both performs this work and is its product; about the conditions of work and life, about success and overwork in the age of late capitalism.

Every ticket to “84 Conversations” is an investment that returns in the form of dance fantasies, personal stories, dance on the phone, sex appeal and a guide to surviving capitalism.

84 dials first time.
84 dials second time.
84 dials third time.
