“Not-Knowing” is an immersive performance work and exploration of human intimacy conceived by director/designer Kevin Cunningham, working with playwright Chuck Mee. We are currently showing v1.0, a work in progress version of the work we did in an intensive performance and multi media design workshop in Studio A at 3LD.

Working with an incredible ensemble of veteran performers spanning the world of traditional theater and film, cirque, vaudville and new burlesque, Cunningham has staged an intertwined mix of Mee’s theatrical fragments in a large-scale, immersive and technologically virtuosic playground in which audience and performers intermingle within a constantly shifting media saturated environment.

Blending 19th century holographic techniques with large-scale mapped video we have begun our work to create a bridge between cinematic, staged and lived reality. “Not-Knowing” examines the possibility of authentic intimacy in a world of total media saturation and the current epidemic of technologically driven solipsism.
