It’s Time to Make a Choice

The audience as part of a science fiction story: in the world of “It’s Time To Make a Choice”, the weather is controlled by people’s emotions.

Led by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, the audience determines the fictional weather conditions through singing and joint interactions.

This playfully creates an evening that is different every time.

Joined by musicians Lucy Liebe and Waveovspace, a musical and improvised role-playing performance emerges, steered by the fears, worries, loves and dreams of the audience.
