[IMAGE DESCRIPTION] is an interactive live theater experience that invites the audience into a playful, thought-provoking exploration of how we see, remember, and relate to the world — and to each other.
Part lecture, part performance, and part shared experiment, the show unfolds as the story of a relationship between the performer and the audience. Together, we examine the blurry line between reality and fiction, memory and imagination, the captured image and the lived moment.
Through humor, reflection, and participation, [IMAGE DESCRIPTION] explores how we make meaning from what we see — and how our perspectives shape what we believe is “real.” In a culture that’s constantly focused on how things look, this piece gently (and sometimes boldly) asks: what are we actually looking at—and what is really there?
