Looking Glass is a site-adaptive, immersive performance experience utilizing and highlighting pre-existing architecture at four sites this summer in LA and NY. The work invites audiences to see their surroundings anew and encourages them to explore the environment, choose and follow a performer, discover hidden scenes, and chart their own path through a cutting edge, fierce, and sophisticated re-imagining of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass. The work is a durational performance, presented on a loop for roughly two hours (LA site) and one hour (NY sites), affording the public an opportunity to move throughout the space and providing multiple vantage points from which to engage with the work. All performances are FREE. No tickets required.
