Tomorrow's Child

October 28, 2017 to November 5, 2017. Adventurous theatre goers will have their curiosities satisfied! Audience members are blindfolded and individually guided into the performance space. The story surrounds them through a thrilling sonic landscape created by long-term Ghost River collaborator Matthew Waddell with the latest in sound technology.The auditory feast introduces listeners to Peter and Polly Horn- two new parents in the imagined retro-future of 1988 who must confront the realities of their newborn son – who has been born into another dimension. Will they accept the divide between parent and child? Or find another solution? This ain't no radio play- the quirks of 50s sci-fi are reimagined for an immersive audio-experience created for a blindfolded audience. As the first installment of Ghost River Theatre's Six Senses Performance Series, Tomorrow's Child explores how being deprived of sight – our primary gateway in the world – primes us for a unique performance experience. Theatre Projects Manitoba is thrilled to shake it up as we travel to a new venue and welcome fresh audience members to this theatrical experience. The story will charm lovers of science fiction, new parents and especially individuals with lived experience of Autism Spectrum Disorder. We are specifically excited to welcome members of the Deaf and hard of hearing communities, and blind or visually impaired audience members by offering complimentary companion tickets. Please contact the Theatre Projects office so we can help you with your accessibility needs. Tomorrow's Child is an unforgettable sonic journey that has to be heard to be believed.. Event Details.
