“Burroughs has great insight into media and internet addiction,” explains the director Mallory Catlett. “Junk is image, he said. DECODER cuts up the image prison to inoculate, like a vaccine against a virus, to strengthen your resistance to the media oversaturation that often tricks you into accepting injustice as normal, unavoidable and inevitable.”

DECODER: Ticket That Exploded is the middle part of the trilogy in which Catlett and her team (known for their previous collaboration on the multiple award-winning Chekhovian show This Was The End) have been working on since 2015. The series is awaiting its NYC premiere in 2020 at the Chocolate Factory.
