RemoteWED 25 OCT 8PM

A mechanical theatre game, fusing an interactive script with a live and responsive sound design. Imagine you’re in a theatre of the future, powered by an algorithm. Remote is an interactive live game interrogating the politics of choice, and decision-making in an immaterial world, saturated with technology.

This is a piece of game-theatre that you play sitting down, and it’s entirely led by you, the audience. As well as just being yourselves – you are also, together, playing a character, and you’ll be asked to make choices for her.

It’s 2017, and we’re a room full of mostly strangers, imagining the future.

“This is immersive theatre, but not as you know it… here the entire audience make decisions that will shape the play’s narrative.” êêêê TIME OUT
