Panopticon is an hour-long immersive production choreographed by Annie Arnoult in collaboration with the performers and inspired by Open Dance Project’s research into the sci-fi world of retro-futuristic dystopias. Set in a world where “citizens” are constantly being watched, a la George Orwell’s 1984, Panopticon follows two would-be lovers struggling with their desire for physical and emotional intimacy in a world where deep, human connection is forbidden.

Contact Level: None to Light (Business/Acquaintance). Audience members are guided throughout the space as the set transforms around them.
Content Advisories: We recommend the performance for ages 13+, as there are (very limited) references to sex, drugs, and alcohol. There are alarms that go off during the show.
Audiences members do need to move throughout the space for the duration of the 60-minute performance. Seating can be placed for someone who cannot walk or stand, but their experience of the show will be more limited. We recommend mobility of some kind as the space transforms and audience perspectives must shift to maintain visibility lines.
The experience is wheelchair accessible.
