You are invited into a wyrd world of bargains, community, and magic in a trilogy of interactive immersive operas

You are invited into a wyrd world of bargains, community, and magic in a trilogy of interactive immersive operas.

This is a world much like ours, with one exception. Those creatures in old stories and legends: the fey in the shadow of ancient trees, the hellkin lingering in bloody cellars, the bastions chanting at the edge of hearing: they are real. That flicker of movement in the corner of your eye, the faint laugh heard in an empty house - those were Uncanny Things. So too the unexpected gift, or inexplicable sickness. Not always, but often. Doors to their labyrinths - strange pocket-worlds formed around the Things - bloom and vanish in stone henges, fog-filled streets, and oil-slicked puddles. Some hold strange kingdoms, mirrors of our own. Others, dangers that spread into our world.

The Uncanny Things Trilogy is a trio of shows where you join a community, coming together and deciding how to change your lives by mastering rituals, crafting offerings, and negotiating with the strange and powerful Uncanny Things.

With rich lore, total audience freedom, and a commitment to creating communities with our audiences, each audience’s choices will develop the world of the show further, creating a uniquely growing experience across the run.

If you like dark rituals of iron and salt, tense bargains to preserve an eternal court or a child’s dreams, obsessive mages and glamorous monsters, or local council representatives just trying to keep everyone safe, this is for you: a new kind of interactive theatre.
