What You Will is a step towards a virtual theatrical promenade, a fresh approach to online performance.
This is not a re-telling of the story of Twelfth Night. This is an exploration of mood, of motif and humanity: a collage of mind states of the play’s characters, shipwrecked in their own lives.
Every visitor may choose which character to visit with, and visit with all characters, as many times as they wish.
Come & explore a corner of the world-country of Illyria!
Nine players devised their timeline in isolation, and will be performing with audience members (from their household or quarantine bubble) sitting or walking with them.
Broadcasting from Japan, India, Europe, the UK, the USA, & Canada, visit and observe fragments of their life’s story, music & song their only guide, in a time out of joint.
And, after the live-event, take a different path through Illyria, as many times as you like.
Come, turn the mundane into the extraordinary.
The three showings are Free For All, or Donate What You Decide, and all proceeds will go to support the freelance creatives who made it happen.
