Where We Meet by Unwired Dance Theatre is an interactive dance performance where audiences can experience the characters' inner thoughts as they walk close to them.
This piece aims to open up the conversation about mental health and break down taboos by facilitating an empathetic and intimate experience. As audiences walk around the space and choose which performers to engage with, innovative location-tracking technology will trigger unique audio monologues and enable personal interactions with solo dancers.
