Audience Role
An Applied Mechanics show invites you into a world in action. You are in charge of your own experience: you can look at one thing, while listening to another. You can craft your own juxtapositions of sound and image. You can edit together your own journey through this world, this story, this full and active community. An Applied Mechanics show surrounds you, draws your attention to corners, offers you details that have been carefully tended, and brings you into relationship with characters who never exit, because it takes all their stories to make the world. – Rebecca Wright (director)

About Applied Mechanics
Applied Mechanics is a visionary artists’ collective making plays in Philadelphia. Our art is an exercise in empathy and transformation. We believe that art can be a powerful force in the struggle against nationalism, fascism, misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and bigotry. The art we make is part of that fight.
