An Undiscovered Room

Interdisciplinary Arts Collective comes to the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival with An Undiscovered Room – an immersive journey into lost and hidden spaces. Over the course of the performance, the audience travels through a maze constructed inside the venue with a series of poles and stitched-together curtains of found and recycled materials. The performers of Interdisciplinary Arts Collective – dancers, musicians, poets, and actors – navigate the space alongside the audience. Specific conditions inside the maze, such as an encounter with another person, a shift in sound or lighting, etc., triggers performance scores for the artists. Dance, music, and text emerge from these encounters as each score is performed and the work unfolds in a constantly evolving labyrinth of experience, discovery, and connection. An Undiscovered Room is interested in practices of orientation and attunement… in how we might move through the spaces where visibility and certainty twist back on themselves to blur into possibility. IAC designed the maze as a living, resonating space that invites curious travel and encourages its voyagers to explore spatial, sonic, and embodied relationships as we affect and are affected by our encounters with each other. We look forward to meeting you there among the twists and turns.
