Third Law (2024) Immersive Event - Main Image

Third Law is an interactive theatrical experience, working to maximize audience agency and bring them into the heart of art making using technology. Through a digital game board, the audience has the unique opportunity to shape the world of the play and the characters in it, collaborating with the artists and each other to co-create a performance that can only happen live and in person. Combining high-concept art installation design with performance and gameplay, Third Law brings us together in space in a visceral and dynamic way - and it’s never the same twice. Performed by: Shani Matoaka Bekt Sam Hood Adrain Megan Mariko Boggs Pablo Calderón-Santiago James Clements Melannie Vásquez Lara Directed by Coral Cohen Stage Managed by Skye Pallo Ross Lighting Design by Jacqueline Scaletta Sound & Video Design by Cosette Pin Set Consulting by Jessica Cancino Press by Emily Owens PR ​Produced in partnership with What Will the Neighbors Say? Third Law was developed in part during a BRIClab Residency at BRIC (Brooklyn, NY). This work was made in part with the help of Theater Mitu’s Artists-At-Home program and is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council as well as with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts.

Led by a collaborative cohort of international artists, the Neighbors present overlooked social, cultural and historical narratives that challenge the audience to reflect on the current moment. Through a combination of original plays, arts education workshops and dynamic community gatherings, the troupe incites rowdy and rigorous debate at the theatre and throughout the Neighborhood.
