THEATRE: Adrift - Counterpilot, Metro Arts, Brisbane Festival

Title: Adrift

Presented By: Counterpilot, Brisbane Festival and Metro Arts

Genre: Participatory Theatre / Immersive Experience

Synopsis: Adrift invites audiences into a mysterious, immersive world where the boundaries between reality and fiction blur. Set against the backdrop of an infinite ocean and a looming mass extinction event, this participatory theatre experience explores themes of isolation and humanity's complicated relationship with nature. As participants navigate the narrative, they engage in interactive storytelling, co-creating a world of infatuated dolphins, lonely whales, and remote lighthouses. With each discovery, lights, water, and mechanical wonders unfold, creating an ever-changing, fantastical environment.
