Me, You , Him and the Telephone

This event is available as QR tickets or as physical tickets sold at city box offices. QR tickets will be activated on the day of the event. To use your QR tickets, you need to log into your personal account in the iTicket.AZ mobile application.More about QR tickets: QR ticket “Me, You, Him and the Telephone” is a story that begins almost unnoticed — with an ordinary phone call that seems to promise nothing special. Yet sometimes such coincidences become the very point after which life can never return to what it once was. At first, it is simply a conversation. Then comes anticipation. And gradually, a voice begins to occupy far more space in one’s life than a случайное connection ever should. Eventually, it becomes clear that behind this dialogue lies not only curiosity, but also a deep emotional need that is difficult to admit. But once the boundaries of the conversation are crossed, everything becomes more complicated. This performance is a touching story about loneliness searching for connection, and about the unexpected chance encounters capable of changing the course of life forever.
