Based on Stanley Milgram’s experiments in the 1960s, 150v: Milgram’s Tip explores the outer limits of obedience to authority through the lens of a Waitress and a Customer.
Structured as an experiment, the performance asks questions: To what extent are we willing to obey an authority figure, no matter what the cost? What role does the physical distance between two people play in one’s willingness to inflict pain on the other?
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, approaching the point of no return.
