Superfluxus – Seth Bockley and Drew Paryzer

Enter SUPERFLUXUS

SUPERFLUXUS  co-conceived by director, Seth Bockley, and playwright, Drew Paryzer, is an eerie, psychedelic, and interactive sci-fi adventure story that goes LIVE on Monday, June 15. Originally intended as an immersive theater and installation project, the artists have re-imagined SUPERFLUXUS, during this time of social distancing, as a choose-your-own-adventure text and video Web experience, set in a surreal and sinister lunar landscape in the year 2120. This virtual journey will give audiences a flavor of what will ultimately become a live immersive experience in the not-too-distant, but still very strange, future. Produced and developed by Pivot Arts as part of our new work development program.

SUPERFLUXUS takes up to two hours to experience and you can control the pace and path. We encourage you to pause in the middle for a DIY intermission! You can save your link and return. We are not charging for this experience but do ask that you donate to help us pay artist and platform expenses.
