Description

Every point in space occurs once at each moment of time. NOWISWHENWEARE (the stars) is a new interactive theatrical installation that pushes this idea to its literal extreme. 

An unseen narrator guides each participant through an individualized journey into a precisely programmed matrix of light—and the cosmos of themselves. the stars traces every decision that you have ever made as a contributing factor to being ‘here’ and being ‘now.’ With nearly 4,000 reactive LED lights and a 496-channel soundscape, Andrew Schneider’s powerful installation draws you into a contemplative and deeply personal encounter with time, memory and presence. Part-meditation, part-exploration,  this dazzling fusion of tech and theatre is a rare chance to get lost in the stars. 

Two distinct experiences are offered in The DarkOpen Universe and Guided – each unique and compelling in different ways.
