Third Law

Created by The Neighbors & Third Law Devising Group

"Third Law" is an interactive theatrical experience, working to maximize audience agency in the creative process and bring them into the heart of artmaking using technology.

Through game theory and theatrical techniques, the audience has the unique opportunity to shape the world of the play and the trajectory of the characters in it, collaborating with the artists and with each other to co-create a performance that can only happen live, in-person, in space together. Combining high-concept technical design with performance and game play, "Third Law" brings us back together in space in a visceral and exciting way - and it's never the same twice.
