Hidden Stories - 2019 - Immersive History , Info & More

Hidden Stories is an invisible performance, a site-specific event that blends itself into the urban landscape. Supplied with headphones, the audience is temporarily endowed with the power to hear the thoughts of certain passers-by and to follow them into the unknown. A single rule of thumb: follow an ordinary object (an orange, a newspaper, a box of matches, or a pen) as it makes its way through the streets of the city.



Begat Theater creates four disparate slices of life, four separate yet parallel stories. The audience follows these characters, slipping into their heads and delving into their deepest secrets. They are alert yet discreet; everyone they see is potentially part of the show.



The city is transformed into a sound stage, the audience's eye is the lens of a camera, and the spectator himself is the editor, choosing which images to synchronize to the sound track being played in his ears. He is free to follow the story from up close or from far away, to look at each detail, each gesture, each blink of an eye, or to let himself be carried away by his own imagination and abandon himself to the urban decor.



he anonymity of city life, sometimes suffocating and other times liberating, is the question at the heart of the piece. "How can I live in a city of thousands, or even millions, and yet still feel so alone?"
