UPDATE

An immersive ritual where visitors become the synesthetic environment of the virtual made physical. A living landscape at the crossroads of space, performer, spectator, and technology, we invite audiences to roam the strange joys and familiar discord of life subsumed within the internet, lose themselves in an unpredictably interactive world of our own making, and explore connection in this mediated age of human experience.

An investigation into life lived through the internet, emerging technologies, and various forms of virtual communication to explore the intangibility of the virtual—disembodied connectivity, the disintegration of personal narrative, hyperawareness and extreme presence, and the curation of information / self—into a theatrical language rooted in the presence and interaction of physical bodies.
