Audience is the storyteller!

The audience is left free to roam the multiple rooms of intricately designed, theatrically lit stage sets. Creating hazy moments of sensory spectacle,

They can explore empty rooms, rummage in draws, read notes, letters and books. A phone booth that actually works?

Audience will be inside the space, walking through site-specific installations, choosing what scenes to see, changing and elaborating the text, creating movements and physically responding to actions to create site-responsive theatre. The performance will never be the same.

Combining text, movement, video, objects, sound, lights and visuals, we aim for a ‘total experience’, for ‘transportation performances’ that result in rendering powerful emotions and eye-opening adventures.

Immersive Theatre

Immersive Theatre is all about creating participative theatre experiences in which audience members give up their “observer’’ status to become co-actors and co-creators of the narrative and of the storytelling process. Our audience members are action wise performers who direct the story by taking decisions, choosing from infinite options and negotiating the process.

‘Immersive theatre’ has shifted the spotlight toward experiential design-led performance, in which the audience is the centre of the action. This proliferation of immersive performance work demonstrates a public appetite for hedonistic theatrical thrills, where the audience is offered an ‘authentic’ experience in a realistic staged environment.
