The Wandering


  • Maelstrom Collaborative Arts 5403 Detroit Ave. (map)

a story in time and space

The Wandering is an immersive, interactive pseudo-performance to be experienced by one person at a time. Under the leadership of Executive Artistic Director Jeremy Paul, a creative team of dancers, painters, filmmakers, installation artists, writers, musicians, performers, and more will construct a gallery of dream-spaces that tell the story of a group of strangers brought together under mysterious circumstances.

In the aftermath of a catastrophic accident, the survivors find themselves sharing the same dream, discovering new ways of expressing and communicating with each other in ways they cannot in the waking world. Part art gallery, part theme park ride or haunted house, The Wandering explores themes of connection/disconnection, individualism vs. collectivism, resilience, mourning, and use of artistic metaphor to reframe our lives.

The Wandering is limited to only one audience member at a time (or two if they are from the same household) who will be required to wear a mask during the experience. All art will be installations or otherwise made remotely, but there will be live elements and environmental changes as the audience moves through the space and experiences the story.
