"playful, tasteful and profound.... a straightforward and unapologetic criticism of the modern, super-achiever culture that demands “high performance” in everything..."

Picture

Assemble is a guerrilla, choose-your-own-adventure performance that transforms the mundane spaces of a well-known store into a series of worlds, fantasies and meditations. 
Participants download an app to their phones and are invited to join Jane as she considers life at 40. 

Participants are prompted to navigate and interact with the store through a series of choices and tasks. The resulting experience is part immersive theatre, part audio tour and an entirely unique experience for each person.

In January 2020, ASSEMBLE was presented in Brooklyn as part of the Exponential Festival. 
Team included: Jess Kaufman, David Blackman, Johanna Kasimow & Christopher Ross-Ewart
