Sweet & Lucky

Performance created by the group Third Rail Projects, and commissioned by Denver Center for the Performing Arts, first premiered on the 17th of May in 2016. Its creators described it as "immersive theatre" and it was critically acclaimed.

Sleep No More

An award winning theatrical experience that tells Shakespeare’s Scottish tragedy, through a darkly cinematic lens. The story unfolds through an awe-inspiring blend of acrobatic choreography, film noir soundtrack, and countless rooms of densely detailed atmosphere. Guests decide where to go and what to see, ensuring that everyone’s journey is unique, and each visit is different.

 

ˈkonfɛrɛnt͡sɛ

In Ferst Dadler's life, creativity, relationships and the events of ephemeral things such as sound and movement were the priority. Creativity as a way of building relationships between people and non-people and developing one's own self-awareness. This promotes connection. And it is precisely the connection with one's own identity that allows us to face the responsibility we have towards others and the context. Ferst Dadler continues a deep dive into social practice, this time alongside the outstanding mezzo-soprano and composer Loré Lixenberg in the performance Konferentse.

Punchdrunck's The Burnt City

The Burnt City is the latest production by the company “Punchdrunk”. Set between two warehouses, the Burnt City is inspired by the events of the fall of Troy. Inside the warehouses is an immersive experience that you are free to explore, you move between the palaces of Greece to the backstreets of Troy dressed in neon.

Free UR Head

Free UR Head is an accessible dance experience that uses VR to create instant group choreographies through the participation of its audience.

Taiwanese theatre and film director Chou Tung-Yen earned his stripes for his cross-border approach, his inventive use of new media, and the unexpected angles he takes on his subjects. This time he wants to take a step back from what happens inside the VR goggle, and wonders about the real physical repercussions outside of it. The result is Free UR Head, a tool for instant VR-conducted group choreographies.

Between Being Asleep and Awake

It is developed from the extension and development of the dance video of the 2013 World Theater Design Award work "Empty Memory". In cooperation with dancer Zhou Shuyi, through the surround view camera, several dance images in an almost surreal space are shot, connecting a journey between sleeping and waking. When the surround view lens no longer has the ability of active capture, but a comprehensive shooting record, the relationship between body and space is instantly magnified. The circular arc and the boundless horizon attemp

Floating with Spirits

Two little sisters prepare for the Day of the Dead in the mystic mountains of Mexico, remembering the stories their shaman granny used to tell. A portal opens as the Mazatec community celebrates and we enter the interactive universe of their ancestors and the spirits of nature, each keeping a secret world to be unveiled.  

Written and directed by Juanita Onzaga.

Muster Station: Leith

Question: How are we to treat others?
Answer: There are no others

-Ramana Maharishi

The seemingly unthinkable has occurred.

We have become those people from the remote places we see on our screens. Thrust into crisis and driven from our homes into uncomfortable proximity with others whom we had pretended to happily co-exist with but perhaps preferred to ignore, inside the Muster Station, our fragile prejudices and assumptions are exposed.
