The audience engage with the performance without any type of technological mediation.
The exhibition consists of a perfectly white, fully furnished room or series of rooms. Visitors may take a sheet of stickers and place those stickers wherever they wish. As they exhibition progresses, the walls and furnishing become more and more covered in colours and patterns, which emerge organically through small, independent choices. At the end of the exhibition, everything in the room, and the room itself, is destroyed entirely.
Inspired by John Cage's use of the Visionary I Ching, the many possible voices and events of INFINITE MATERIAL ANALYSIS are stochastically determined by random chance processes. No control. No agency. No blame. Seven. Eight. Nine. Six. Stop. Change.
The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable (2013) is a large-scale immersive theatre production by Punchdrunk, directed by Felix Barrett. The work is set within a fragmented, noir-inflected vision of 1960s Hollywood and was staged across a vast warehouse environment at Temple Studios, London. Masked audience members are invited to move freely through an extensive architectural world composed of film studios, desert landscapes, bars, trailers, dressing rooms, and private interiors.

This Production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street first took place in Harrington's Pie Shop, one of the oldest pie shops in London in October 2014. . The production was produced by Tooting Arts Club, and was directed by Bill Buckhurst. The show performed 6 shows a week, while the pie shop operated as normal during the day. The immersion began across the street in Anton's Barber Shop for the preshow, and the entire performance was performed live for guests, who sat in the dining seats while the action took place around them.
Written by Duncan Macmillan and performed by Jonny Donahoe, the play was first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014. “The play’s conceit is simple. In response to his mother’s suicide attempt, a young boy makes a list of all the things worth living for – like water-fights, ice-cream and “things with stripes”. As he gets older the list keeps growing. The magic lies in the way the audience are invited to participate. They are assigned lines and even roles in the story. Almost everyone contributes and a community is created” (Guardian).
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.
