“All the cool kids will want to join - no one else is making work like this.” - The Age (Truthmachine, 2019)
About
From the masterminds of the critically acclaimed Truthmachine (2019), Metro Arts 2022 Company In Residence Counterpilot create a not-to-be-missed theatre experience unlike any other...
Adrift brings audience members together to reveal fantastical true stories about playful dolphins, lonely whales, and remote lighthouses. Part mystery, part game, participants are provided instructions through headsets to bring life to a story. As the story unfolds, lights turn on, water emerges, and mechanical discoveries are made.
With an immersive sound design, audiences will be guided to become storytellers and co-create detailed worlds by manipulating objects, and filling in the blanks as part of an interweaving mystery.
Adrift explores feelings of isolation and our fraught relationship with nature in the face of a potential mass extinction event.
