ASSEMBLE

ASSEMBLE

By Talya Chalef, David Blackman, and Jess Kaufman, with Christoper Ross-Ewart

• World Premiere Jan 2020, Exponential Festival (NYC)

• 2021 Production with Flying Leap Productions

ASSEMBLE is a guerrilla, choose-your-own-adventure performance that transforms the mundane spaces of a well-known store in Brooklyn into a series of worlds, fantasies and meditations. Participants download an app to their phones and are invited to join Jane as she considers life at 40. A series of choices and tasks prompt the listener to navigate and interact with the store. The resulting experience is part immersive theatre, part audio tour and an entirely unique experience for each person.
