Disclaimer at The Public Theater | January, 2021

|
Disclaimer, which premiered at Incoming! during Under the Radar 2020, has been invited back to the "mainstage" in 2021. Of course, the "stages" are still dark, so this won't be your grandmother's Disclaimer: this time, you'll learn to make your own Persian food (you love it, right?).
Chef Nargis invites you to her virtual cooking class, and if you both do your jobs just right, you'll have more to look forward to than an aromatic dinner. Help prevent a seemingly inevitable war from the comfort of your home! Disclaimer: This play contains propaganda, vague promises of Persian food, minimally invasive audience participation, and (gasp) MURDER. Inspired by a real-life Iranian-New-Year-themed murder mystery party, Disclaimer examines identity and fear, the stakes of cultural (mis)representation, the quest for togetherness, and the seductiveness of a good procedural.
Although, we'll miss being under those bright lights in the big city, there is so much to be excited about in this iteration of Disclaimer. It not only continues the trajectory of our explorations into virtual theater (by the way, you can read more about that in our interview in Time Out), but this show will be FREE(!) and available to audiences around the world! Isn't that nice?

The Under Presents is available for download (and winning awards!)
The Under Presents, the VR project we worked on with Tender Claws, is now officially available on the Oculus Quest and Rift! Since its release, it has received rave reviews, and considerable buzz in the gaming universe (as well as it's very own subreddit). We're also happy to announce that it recently won VR experience of the year at aixr's VR Awards.

Our audio-theater collaboration with playwright Celine Song, Tread on Me, Tread Softly, is still in the works!
We can't wait to share this in-person experience with you when public safety allows for it. |
