Inside the Wild Heart - Streaming at Gather Town
Enjoy a stream experience of the immersive play Inside the Wild Heart and choose your own adventure
THE PLAY INSIDE THE WILD HEART is an immersive theatrical experience based on the works of Clarice Lispector, Brazil's most acclaimed female writer, presented in New York in 2016 and 2018. The show transported the audience directly inside Lispector’s heart creating an experience that encouraged them to engage with literature on a sensory level. Now, the 2018’s filmed performance is available for viewers around the world through the Gather Town platform, allowing the audience to navigate through the three virtual floors of Aich Studio - a preserved 19th-century space in the heart of Gramercy Park. Videos from different rooms of the house will be streamed simultaneously, and similar to the live show, the audience will be able to access 11 different journeys and choose whom to follow, where to go, and how much time to spend in each room. Videos, photos and audio from art installations will also be availble for exploration. Conceived by Andressa Furletti and Debora Balardini, and directed by Linda Wise, the show integrates visual arts, film, music & performance art, which embodies Clarice Lispector’s deepest feelings, serving as an entry point to her incredible work, still mostly unknown in the US. The performers embody the writer's most important themes such as identity, solitude, madness, faith, time, violence, maternity, childhood, and freedom accompanied by the awarded violinist Mario Forte. In doubt of what to do and where to go? Clarice Lispector may offer you an answer: "If you were you, how would you be and what would you do?".
