Digital and Interactive Shows at Next Stage

As fans of immersive, digital theatre we invite you to enjoy The Complex, on now at the Next Stage Theatre Festival. In this audience-led show, co-created by Jessie Fraser, Mandy Roveda, and Chantal Forde (Toronto Fringe hits Grey, Lacuna, and Table 7), participants can choose to be part of "the Community" (interaction with actors and other participants), or "the Chamber" (a live-edited viewing stream with chat and polls). This exciting new way to experience theatre allows participants to interact as much or as little as they want.

In Saving Wonderland by Gamiotics, you'll join together with fellow audience members in a dual-screen experience to rethink the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland. Numerous possibilities lead to multiple potential endings, and every screening is different as your choices determine what happens live and in real time.

These artists are returning and transforming the practice of digital theatre with fun, satirical and challenging shows that give agency to the audience with innovative and immersive features throughout. We look forward to welcoming you back to Next Stage.
