Story
In the near future, past and present reunite through an experimental new technology that enables a woman with Alzheimer’s and her son to experience her memories. Audiences will embark on a journey that questions the very fabric of our existence, the fragile nature of memory, and what it means to be truly conscious.
What is Immersive Theater?
Immersive theatre surrounds the audience, blurring the lines between performer and spectator. Instead of passively observing performances on a stage, audiences have opportunities to interact with performers, environments, and become fully immersed in the story's world.
Tethered is Erie's original immersive theatrical experience. Our productions feature collaborations between artists and community partners to create thought-provoking performances while raising the bar for unique entertainment. A combination of dance, theater, music, film, and visual arts to create an emotional and unforgettable journey that audiences experience at their own pace. Learn more at www.tetheredimmersive.com
