THE 7TH VOYAGE OF EGON TICHY (REDUX) Extended Off-Broadway

New York Theatre Workshop and Lucille Lortel Theatre are extending Sinking Ship and Theater in Quarantine’s world premiere production of The 7th Voyage of Egon Tichy [redux] to February 2, 2025. Created by director Jonathan Levin, playwright Josh Luxenberg, and performer Joshua William Gelb, this production has been rewritten, expanded, and reconceived as a unique in-person theatrical experience. Performances of The 7th Voyage of Egon Tichy [redux], presented in partnership with the 2025 Under The Radar Festival, take place at New York Theatre Workshop’s Fourth Street Theatre.

Trapped in a time loop, space traveler Egon Tichy faces his own worst enemy: himself. And he’s multiplying. In this inventive fusion of live performance and digital sleight-of-hand, a single performer builds a cinematic sci-fi comedy in real time, transforming an 8’x4’ white box into a cosmic madhouse. The acclaimed physical theater company Sinking Ship and the Obie award-winning Theater in Quarantine have reimagined their “virtuosic” (New York Times) early pandemic streaming hit The 7th Voyage of Egon Tichy as a mind-bending in-person experience—a slapstick adventure and poignant meditation on the tug-of-war between the versions of ourselves we can never escape.

Based on the story by Stanislaw Lem, The 7th Voyage of Egon Tichy [redux] is created by director Jonathan Levin, playwright Josh Luxenberg, and performer Joshua William Gelb. The creative team includes Peiyi Wong (set & costume design), Marika Kent (lighting design), Jesse Garrison (video design), Florian Staab (original music & sound design), Jonathan Levin (props design) and Carly Levin (production manager & line producer).

Twenty-seven in-person performances of The 7th Voyage of Egon Tichy [redux] will now take place through February 2, 2025 at New York Theatre Workshop’s Fourth Street Theatre, located at 83 East 4th St in Manhattan. The running time is 55 minutes with no intermission. Performance times vary. Please see the schedule below.

Additionally, performances on Sunday, January 19, 26, and February 2 at 5pm will be live-streamed.
