Liminal Archive
An immersive theatrical experience about isolation
This immersive theatrical experience guides audiences through the intimate moments of isolation experienced by artists as they traverse the unknown during the early days of the pandemic. Liminal Archive began as an open-source platform, providing a cultural exchange for international artists to collaborate together during a lockdown and mass uprisings, and it has collected more than 40 artworks, including music, digital art and theater. Al Límite has curated these offerings into a 40-minute odyssey of live performances, projections and audio journeys where we venture through the past, the present, and find our way together into the future. Al Límite Collective Producing Directors: Leah Bachar, Monica Hunken and Dennis Yueh-Yeh Li Audio Design by Benny Woodard, Leah Bachar and Jessica Daugherty, Scenic Design by Monica Hunken, Lighting Design by Hao Bai, Projection Design by Dennis Yueh-Yeh Li and Dramaturgy by Tom Walker Featuring Leah Bachar, Shan Y.

About New Ohio Theatre
New Ohio Theatre is a two-time Obie Award-winning theatre under the leadership of Robert Lyons, Artistic Director. The New Ohio serves New York’s most adventurous theatre audiences by developing and presenting bold work from today’s vast independent theatre community. They believe the best of this community, the small artist-driven ensembles and the daring producing companies who operate without a permanent theatrical home, are actively expanding the boundaries of where American theatre is right now and where it’s going. From their home in the West Village’s historic Archive Building, the New Ohio provides a high-profile platform for downtown’s most mature, ridiculous, engaged, irreverent, gut-wrenching, frivolous, sophisticated, foolish, and profound theatrical endeavors.
