Immersive
Immersive theatre is a type of show where the audience is placed inside the performance world rather than being passive observers in a theater, no sitting in the dark watching here, instead you’ll need to be ready to get your hands a little dirty. It breaks the traditional “fourth wall” by using physical spaces that are transformed into the story’s setting and may involve audience interaction, sensory experiences, and personal choices, making them an active participant in the narrative. The goal is to create a personalized, multi-dimensional, and deeply engaging experience for each individual audience member.
