A theatre is a vessel. In the realm of performance, a theatre transcends its physical form. It becomes a conduit for metamorphosis. It is the embodiment of narrative, a stage for storytelling, a space where time bends. The theatre assumes an alter-ego, a realm where passive observation evolves into active participation.

This new space redefines the conventional notion of theatre, engaging the senses in a celestial dialogue with the sun, earth, light, and material vibrations. It envelops the audience, inviting them to immerse themselves fully, their backs resting on the edges of the sphere which vibrates and hums as the performance ensues.

Spectators pass through the “backstage” cacophony of hanging cat walks and support programs, through a liminal passage of the thick sphere walls, and finally into the heart of the space.
