Zero
Step into the arena, choose your player, and battle for their very existence
Enter the sleek halls of Equilibrium, the world's foremost cutting-edge tech company on the brink of revealing a revolutionary product set to transform our world. Zero, the company's young and talented design engineer, leads the charge. Motivated by the loss of his sister, Zero tirelessly pursues innovative tech designs that promise not only to change the world but also to help him reconnect with what he's lost. Alongside Zero are three key players at Equilibrium: Leif, Zero's wife and Equilibrium's marketing director; Tony, the company's relentless CEO; and Shru, the inconspicuous janitor (almost) no one gives a damn about. In this surreal, gamified Exodus Experience, audience members align with their chosen player, form a team, and compete to see one champion emerge victorious. Buckle up because once you consent to play, there’s no turning back. ZERO is rated Theatre-MA and contains moments of nudity, violence, loud noises, (non operable) toy weapons in close proximity to the audience, and other graphic content or themes viewers may find disturbing.

About The Exodus Ensemble
The Exodus Ensemble comprises 13 members from Los Angeles, Chicago, NYC, Salt Lake City, and Atlanta who joined forces and moved to Santa Fe in 2020 to create the most exciting theatre company they could dream up. Although they hail from coast to coast, The Exodus Ensemble met in Chicago as students at The Theatre School at DePaul University. After spending years collaborating at the conservatory, these artists graduated and set off on exciting careers, working at major theatres around the world and booking television contracts with Netflix, AMC, Quibi, NBC and more. Within days of March 12th, 2020, the industry went dark. Theatres closed and production came to a halt on film sets and television studios. Overnight, years of creative contracts evaporated. When summer arrived and covid showed no signs of stopping, 8 DePaul grads got in touch, joined forces and moved to Santa Fe in September of 2020 and got to work on a repertoire of original, wild and immersive theatrical productions. For the rest of 2020, The Exodus Ensemble spent three months working together as a quaran-team, using their bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms as rehearsal spaces and developed a wholly original interpretation of Chekhov’s 19th-century Russian drama, IVANOV. Since IVANOV, the ensemble has created three more original experiences — BATHSHEBA, JAYSON, and DEATHCOOKIE: a murder mystery on Sky Railway — and will be premiering a fourth project — ZERO — in collaboration with the New Mexico Museum of Art.
