"A labyrinth made of all the paths one has taken", is how the duo describes the performance that is entirely plaid over the phone.

"Theatre on a Line is on intimacy, on ‘intimacy with strangers, is on the maps, maps of desire, the maps of possible encounters, maps imaginary for imaginary encounters. It is the stories we tell and those who tell us more. It’s about being connected, about being in line, the line moves, telephone lines, telephone lines dedicated to theater. It is the theater online, the theater suspended on a line, the thin line that separates reality and fiction".
