A good immersive theatre experience overshadowed by a less than great performance space with little air conditioning. A very creative endeavor!
David Hanson always does interesting shows that change what it means to be an audience member. This is a lot like his “Bird in the Hand” a couple of years ago where you’re split into one of three groups – Scientists, Security or Rich and Powerful. The group you’re in will determine what you see and hear.
The show is designed to do one of two things – or both. Have the audience discuss what happened amongst themselves to put the pieces together or have you go back multiple times to sit in different groups. Both are highly recommended.
This is one I am definitely going try to hit up again on Friday so I can see a little more and put more pieces together.
