Assemble

After a successful initial run in January 2020, Assemble is returning this fall with even more questions than before. Assemble is a guerrilla, choose-your-own-adventure performance that transforms the mundane spaces of a well-known store in Brooklyn into a series of worlds, fantasies and meditations. Participants download an app to their phones and are invited to join Jane as she considers the cost of her choices. At 40. Amidst a global pandemic. After buying a ticket, downloading the performance app, and arriving at a secret location in Brooklyn, participants are prompted to navigate and interact with the store through a series of choices and tasks. The resulting experience is part immersive theatre, part audio tour and an entirely unique experience for each person. Assemble premiered in January 2020 as part of The Exponential Festival; the 2021 production has been reworked and revised to meet the current moment. This production is fully compliant with all federal and local COVID-19 regulations, and the experience is solitary, socially distanced, and masked.
