/red room/

Overview

There’s a room and everything is red.
“You mean you’ve been locked up in this stupid room since yesterday making nothing?”
They’re painting, they’ve been painting, and everything is red.
“Yes.”
it’s them it’s them it’s them
it’s–
everything is–
They stare at the self-portrait, and everything is red.

/red room/ is: a live reading, an interactive gallery, a world-premiere; a place to reveal, find, destroy, and let go.

/red room/ is a multi-meta-physical experience encompassing poetry, artwork, and immersive theatre. Poetic, erratic, disjointed, /red room/ challenges the traditional performance framework, exploring loss of self and the gravity of its grievance. The experience centers around the live reading of a narrative that explores themes of identity and self-portraiture.

Under the lull of the narrative, we invite only the silence of the space, and the secrets of rebuilding.
