"We talk about going to the theatre or going to a show. In the past, with Punchdrunk, the audience has always gone into the show," says Barrett, referring to the Alice in Wonderland sensation that much of his work has induced. "We've done that, and now lots of other people are doing it. But I'm very interested in exploring how you could flip the principle. What would happen if, instead of stepping into the show, the audience discovered that the show had come into the real world and was infecting it? It's one of the things that we're trying to do with Elysium, to completely blur the boundaries between fiction and reality. In the longer term, I'm really interested to discover how far you can push those boundaries, and for how long? A few minutes? An hour? For days?""
Felix Barrett - Punchdrunk - The Guardian
I'm really happy to see that Punchdrunk are willing to undertake the same risks FoolishPeople & Mythos Media first undertook with The Providence Experiments.
