The Double
The newest immersive theater experience from Witness, updating Dostoevsky's classic tale by way of Severance. Step into a liminal, unsettling office where you have freedom to experience the narrative as you please.
"Something is wrong in the office. The taste of the coffee. The buzz of the fluorescents. Ever since we met, something has been undeniably… off. And how has nobody noticed that we look exactly the same?" Based on Dostoyevsky's psychological thriller, step into the world of THE DOUBLE — a dimly-lit office, abandoned after a mysterious incident. How you watch is up to you: sit at a desk, walk the office floor, rummage through bankers boxes and kitchen cabinets. All the while, fragmentary interviews play off screens around you, while live action swirls behind conference room glass, peeling back the story of what took place. The newest world premiere from Witness. Space extremely limited.
Audience Role
Audiences are invited to experience the show as they wish — if you wish to sit at your desk and watch, you may, or you can explore the office and interact with the set as the narrative unfolds. Audiences won’t participate in the show or be forced interact with performers.
