The Quickest Route to Salvation

Tue 20 Oct 7pm - 8pm

BATS Theatre, Wellington

If you were faced with the inability to make decisions under pressure, would you outsource your decision-making to a collective consciousness of complete strangers?

When Sol, usually paralysed by everyday decision-making, enrolls in The Seer’s experimental neurological clinical trial, the audience is plugged in as the collective consciousness. They decide in real time how Sol navigates their setbacks. Enter Sol’s mind, where four distinct "Neurons" advocate for each of their conflicting responses to Sol’s dilemmas.

There are many unique mechanics to marvel at. The Branching Narrative gives the audience a unique chance to act as Sol's decision-makers, using voting panels to determine how the narrative progresses in real-time. The Original Score changes Dynamically depending on audience choices throughout the show, and the narrative branches into one of Four Different Endings. The branches feature Abstract Movement and Dance, giving the audience a unique perspective on their choices. There is no way to hear every song, and see every scene in just one night, each show is unique.
