Despite all your rage, you are still just a rat in a cage. Luckily, you're also a rat who's been outfitted with a neural implant that allows you to communicate telepathically with the other rats in your cage. Maybe that'll help.

Despite all your rage, you are still just a rat in a cage. Luckily, you're also a rat who's been outfitted with a neural implant that allows you to communicate telepathically with the other rats in your cage. Maybe that'll help.
labRats is a new digitally native interactive performance by the award-winning duo cirqueSaw. Pulling equally from classic games, silent films, and a generous helping of Lewis Caroll, the piece seeks to blur the line between reality and unreality, between wonder and horror. Audiences play as lab rats in an experiment beyond their control who have to work together to take control of their lives. Whether they choose to escape, take over the lab, or deconstruct the fabric of the reality of their experience itself is entirely up to them. Recommended for ages 13+.

Join performer and very-silly-human Tia Shearer Bassett for an experimental adventure show based on her cancer treatment year (but also about life, community, stars, scars, armor and bravery and the stories behind the stories). A live theatrical experience over Zoom featuring communal interaction, analog effects, and the kind of glittery hope that we can maybe only get from each other.
Recommended for adults.

Live online; 5 performances.
Part performance, part hyper-localized, individual, experiential installation art.
SPACE is a 10-minute, gently immersive remote event exploring our relationship to the physical spaces around us and wondering how we might connect with those spaces beyond our habits and expectations. Performed live on Zoom, the “immersive” elements are designed such that cameras and chat participation are entirely optional while still being able to experience the piece fully either way.
Even though we’ll be on Zoom, SPACE isn’t really about what’s happening on the screen – it’s about reconnecting with the space outside your screen…
For all ages.
