Imagine you are buying a ticket at the box office for an individual show on a specific day. You are led to an apartment somewhere close by, where a person on a phone strikes up a conversation with you. The voice belongs to a call-center agent from Calcutta, India… A story is about to develop and you realize that the call-center agent and you and your city are the very first protagonists of the plot. “Call Cutta” is a new form of dialog that turns up the other side of the globalization coin and whispers its message back into the ear of the end-user.
