How does physical sensation transform the way we experience our lives? Enter the jaw-dropping world of Pure, an immersive performance that considers the influence of imagination on our perception of reality. Guided through a walking experience across the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, oscillating between visual art, sound, touch, and performance, audience members will experience a surprising feast for the senses. After rapturous success during its recent European tour, Pure makes its North American debut at DirectorFest, welcoming American collaborators for the first time.
Please be advised that all patrons will need to check in their belongings prior to entering the performance. Please be advised patrons for a portion of the immersive promenade will be blindfolded. The segment of the show that does not intentionally inhibit your vision can be enjoyed audibly.
