Brave New Day is an immersive theatre production that explores the demise of a civilised world as we know it at a moment when the majority of the population suddenly goes blind. The performance brings to light the consequences of such catastrophe. Guests join a group that travels through a world of a collapsing society where a sudden crisis has shaken up existing ties and customs. A world where it is not clear what values ​​are still worth keeping and what are just luxuries for which there is no time left.

Guests will wear eye mask for most of the performance, preventing them from using their sight. They will participate in the performance in a small group guided through the space in order to experience the acting and scenography using their hearing and touch. This entails a number of specifics, so please pay attention to all the warnings below.

NOTICE
The movement will include a few brief moments where it will be necessary to move on your knees. The performance is therefore not suitable for people who would find such movement problematic.
The performance takes place in an old house that retains its own temperature, is cooler inside than outside, and its walls may be stained. We recommend choosing clothing that will not allow you to get cold and may get slightly dirty.
The whole house is very dusty. Allergy sufferers are advised to consider taking adequate medication before entering.
Please note that audience members will be guided around the space during the performance by touching their arms and hands.
