SURVIVE!

Underground Arts at the Wolf Building
Philadelphia, PA

In 1972, NASA launched a pair of satellites named Pioneer into space. Each was fitted with a plaque intended for any intelligent beings who found it. It's message to the universe: We are humanity. WE ARE HERE.

What if in 2010 we received a message back? "Yes, you are here. And now you need to understand what that means."

SURVIVE! is a new work of theater that uncovers the meaning of human existence. By examining the universe through the lenses of time, space, matter and energy, Swim Pony's audiences will find out whether it is possible to know their place in the Universe. Using the guidance of a 10th dimensional narrator named AMA viewers will pick their paths through a maze-like installation covering over 20,000 square feet.

Look back at earth from the deepest regions of the galaxy on a "walkway to space" and stare down at tiny microscopic life forms to understand how you are connected to them. Meet a gentle scientist who can explain anything you need to know or find out what it feels like to travel in time as you choose your own adventure through a multi-dimensional message that the cosmos has sent in return to our own.

Note: Please be aware that this show is in "promenade" style and requires the audience to move through the space and climb a small set of stairs. This performance also requires you to choose your own path through the installation. If you cannot make a choice, please be advised to bring a friend that can. Call 847-309-1266 if you have any questions.
