Katalepsis will invite audience members into a world set many generations into the future, when humans are no longer the dominant life form on earth. Three Creators have been tasked to generate creative content for mysterious Benefactors, who support their work. Relying on help from audience members, who appear to them as holobeings from the past, the characters of “Katalepsis” search for fulfillment, connection, and a way forward. Content warning: themes of isolation, climate crisis, viral pandemic. This immersive experience requires the audience to move at their own pace, from room to room, and interact with performers (or not) at their own choosing. Both the Peale and the experience are fully accessible by those using wheelchairs or are restricted in movement.

You can also hear select stories that were recorded by […]
