Tonight, our charismatic hosts invite you to help unite the nation. Group singing, good will and oddball feats of endurance prevail as Telethon 2022 launches before your eyes, all to raise money for the most important causes in our lives. In an exploration of groupishness and moral psychology, you are the live studio audience as the Telethon begins to fracture, the broadcast takes a jagged turn, and every voice is silenced. Telethon features integrated captioning and moments of integrated BSL interpretation/translation. Almost all of Telethon is captioned, using creative captioning as part of the video design. There are a few moments of audience interaction in the piece too, these are interpreted by a performer onstage, who uses BSL as part of their character. TalkShow creates and delivers live performance, participatory projects and work for digital platforms where the audience has a role to play. Their work flips modern fears and anxieties into collective experiences, often taking a familiar setting (a focus group, a classroom, a TV studio) and transforming it to reveal something new.
