Blindscape

Overview

Lets face it, almost all of us are attached to our phones. We text, tweet, share, play and occasionally call at all hours of the day from all locations. That is the modern technological world for you where we are connected all the time, everywhere, even the theatre thanks to Blindscape, an innovative new piece of theatre presented by PACT that combines circus, performance and app technology.

Whilst most theatre shows would give you the greasiest of glares for even looking at your phone, Blindscape is only possible to participate in by using a provided iPhone, pre-loaded with the specially designed Blindscape app. This app provides the primary illumination for the show, permitting the performers to infiltrate the virtual world this light source creates. It offers the audience fleeting fragments of circus which ultimately question our relationship with our personal technologies via exploitation of that affiliation. This first of its kind circus show can only house thirty a performance so bookings are pretty essential for this one.
