Read the full review


“… these shows — in their weirdness, humor, gravitas, intellectual curiosity, graphic boldness and electric vitality — offered the best argument by far for the artistic promise of streaming theater.” — The New York Times

Nosferatu, A 3D Symphony of Horror from the acclaimed Theater in Quarantine, will be live-streamed throughout Halloween weekend. Nosferatu is the company’s newest experiment in digital performance, reaching back to the classic 3D technology of cardboard glasses and old midnight movies. This reimagining of the 1922 vampire classic will be live streamed in live 3D from the Theater in Quarantine closet directly to the audience’s phones or devices.

About Theater in Quarantine

Theater in Quarantine is an Obie and Drama League Award-winning performance laboratory dedicated to the exploration of the live theatrical experience in the digital space. Established in response to the pandemic by director, performer, and creative technologist Joshua William Gelb, TiQ has live-streamed dozens of visually distinctive, original works to its YouTube channel, all performed out of a closet in the East Village measuring only 8 sq feet. Hailed as one of the most imaginative makers of digital performance, TiQ has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered, Japan’s NHK Television, has been profiled in The New Yorker, The New York Times, been a four-time Times Critic’s Pick as well as one of Vulture’s “Top 10 Best Theater Moments of 2020” and the NY Times’ “Best Theater of 2021.” TiQ’s full archive can be found and streamed anytime on their YouTube channel at youtube.com/TheaterInQuarantine.

Joshua William Gelb is an Obie and Drama League Award-winning multi-hyphenate theater maker whose various hats include director, performer, and creative technologist. With an eye for the highly theatrical verging on the cinematic, Gelb’s work has been known to feature striking integrations of technology, music, movement, clowning, and dance. Gelb has been in residence at LaMama, CultureHub, Theater Mitu, Abrons Arts Center, Ars Nova, and is currently a HARP resident artist at Here Arts Center. Recently his media designs with Theater in Quarantine were exhibited at the Prague Quadrennial. JoshuaWilliamGelb.com
