Invisible Treasure Shooting RatsInvisible Treasure
Synopsis:
Invisible Treasure is an interactive digital playspace, an electrifying exploration of human relationships, power structures and individual agency, where your actions can change everything. Suitable for ages 7 and upwards. No actors. No plot. But theres you. And maybe thats enough. When will you follow the rules and when will you break them? What risks are you prepared to take? How will you know if youre seeing the whole picture? Using cutting-edge sensor, sound and projection technologies, Invisible Treasure is a journey through seven levels of unreality in a world that feels like the inside of a computer game but yet seems strangely similar to our own. Time to join the dots.

Notes:
Original Playwright - Peter Turrini. This is the British premier of the first play written by now well established Austrian Dramatist Peter Turrini in 1967. Based on An idea from Willard Manus And written in Viennese dialect (the published text found it necessary to print A parallel German text to make it comprehensible to non-Viennese) what is presented follows Turrini's requirement that Any production should be relocated to the time And place of its performance. What is presented here, A co-production with Oval House theatre elsewhere project, has been Adapted by co-director Rachel Briscoe improvising with A group of Actors And work-shopping with young South Londoners to develop A piece that stays true to the structure And intention of the original while reflecting contemporary And local experience.
