About this Event

A techno-séance that explores how we use superstition, magic, and technology to commune with the ghosts of our future and our past.


Thursday, January 15 at 7pm, 8:30pm, and 10pm

Friday, January 16 at 7pm, 8:30pm, and 10pm

Saturday January 17 at 7pm, 8:30pm, and 10pm


A Catoptromancer is an immersive, design-driven, and intimate live theater performance exploring catoptromancy—an ancient method of divination using reflective surfaces to see visions, gain hidden knowledge, or predict the future. This production will create a techno-séance experience using not only ancient technologies (mirrors and candles) but also contemporary technology (video and projections) to investigate the human experience of being haunted by our pasts, our futures, what we have lost and also, perhaps, what we risk losing...
