Metaphysical Hotline is an intimate conversational chamber piece about our ecological commitments. It takes the form of a 35-45 minute phone call for an audience of one.

In addition to setting the stage for the performance, completing the pre-performance questionnaire will give you a sense of what the project is about and allow you a chance to support the Oil Ancestors research archive.

Metaphysical Hotline was created by Fereshteh Toosi and originally developed by Live Arts Miami at Miami Dade College.

Live Arts Miami (LAM) is one of the city’s oldest and boldest performing arts series: an action-driven, people-centered platform for powerful performances, impactful community programs and learning experiences that spark dialogue, raise awareness around pressing issues, and open minds and hearts in all who take part. For three decades, LAM has featured extraordinary performing artists and unforgettable performances, collaborations and public art projects from all over the world. Today, LAM is a regional model of principled innovation and excellence in public arts programming. A place for artists, audiences, and students to come together as one.

The LALA Performance Series is the capstone to Live Arts Miami’s Live Arts Lab Alliance Artist (LALA) residency program, which empowers local performing artists from different backgrounds and disciplines to generate new work and establish new connections and networks of creative feedback and collaboration. This year’s LALA cohort has developed works centered on climate change and sustainability in Miami and includes Miami-based artists Michelle Grant-Murray, Dale Andree, Sandra Portal-Andreu, Fereshteh Toosi, Susan Caraballo, and Hattie Mae Williams.

The programs of Live Arts Miami are made possible with the generous support of:

Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council; the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners; the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture; the National Endowment for the Arts; National Performance Network (NPN); the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Live Arts Miami is a Partner of the National Performance Network (NPN).
