Open Dance Project: PANOPTICON

Studio5 presents the regional premiere of Open Dance Project's "Panopticon" -- the Houston-based company's newest immersive work set in the year 2151. "Panopticon" is an hour-long immersive production choreographed by Annie Arnoult (Dance Magazine's "25 to Watch" in 2018) in collaboration with the performers and inspired by Open Dance Project's research into the sci-fi world of retro-futuristic dystopias. Set in a world where citizens are constantly being watched, a la George Orwell's "1984", "Panopticon" follows two would-be lovers struggling with their desire for physical and emotional intimacy in a world where deep, human connection is forbidden.

All tickets are general admission. Each performance will have a maximum of 40 audience members (recommended for ages 12+).

Important Note: "Panopticon" is an hour-long immersive production, with audience and set pieces moving throughout. There is no traditional audience seating. The performance is wheelchair accessible.
