STATIC: A Headphones Tour by Sansculottes Theater Company

North Lakeside Cultural Center
Chicago, IL

STATIC: A Headphones Tour combines theater with art instillation in an audio format similar to the headset tours found in museums. The audience experiences the story by listening to headphones and moving through the space, interacting with artifacts and each other.

Everybody loves a good ghost story, and STATIC follows the mystery behind Walter and Millie Burke, an eccentric couple that lived on the outskirts of town. Years later, Will and Margaret find a cardboard box full of cassette tapes of Walter's daily recordings. The young couple follow a strange path to the Burke's mysterious home, documenting as they go. The house, full of meticulous organized strange collections (drawers full of keys, stacks of old newspapers sorted alphabetically, and a bathtub full of buttons), starts a local legend of ghosts haunting the objects from this compulsive collection. Sorting the truth from fiction, the audience moves through the rooms of the Burkes house with Will and Margaret as guides.

Note: Please arrive 10 minutes early. STATIC: A Headphones Tour lasts about one hour. Feel free to bring your own headphones. Otherwise, ear buds will be provided.
