Kimi's 100 word description

Okay ... there are a lot of things missing from this description, but I tried to make it as flashy as possible and it's only 98 words. I sort of focused on the question of distance since that seemed concrete, but I'm totally open to changing that.


“150v: Milgram’s Tip” is a performance structured as an experiment that asks the question: Does the physical distance between two people determine whether or not one is willing to inflict pain on the other at the request of an authority figure? How close is close enough? In our experiment the movements and language of a “normal” social situation are repeated over and over to the point of absurdity as the stakes get raised higher and higher. Join us as we pass the point of no return in our investigation into the relationship between the individual and the community.
