From the organizers: THE EXPERIENCE> Departing Dystopia is best described as an Interactive, Post-Apocalyptic, Cyberpunk, EDM, Live Musical reimagining of the classic tale of Romeo & Juliet. The experience is made up of a wide variety of performance art installations including elements of dance, satire, cabaret, and theater… all of this is choreographed to a loosely scripted storyline, accompanied by an epic audio visual extravaganza… The audience won’t just sit in a seat and stare at performers… They will be standing, walking, dancing and being encouraged to participate in the performance as our slightly insane host/bartender/unreliable narrator guides them through the experience on a set timeline. THE SCHEDULE> Departing Dystopia is a two-part experience. Second Reality is the Main Show (8-10 p.m.) which is described above. The Unification is the After Party (10-2 a.m.).
