Moments in Nature

Abstract

Paradise creek, is a small river running between two cities. Realizing some of the original environment was altered, we created a story where herons and humans encounter each other in unexpected ways and the original river space could be discovered. The story unfolds as the audience observes the heron in flight. Telling the story of the heron becomes a collaborative effort between a team on stage and audience members in the theater. The participants on stage help to find and rescue the red heron. In real-time, viewers witness on screen the interactive story unfolding inside the virtual river.
