STRIKE Theater Company is currently developing an immersive and interactive retelling of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The experience unfolds around the spectator-participants and includes them as they become the crew of a 17th century sailing ship, navigating the rocky sea by starlight.
Together, utilizing both high-tech wizardry and the most ancient theatrical devices, we go in search of adventure, stumble into unintended environmental devastation of our own making, reckon with our culpability, and find our way back to reverence for the natural world.
This work revolves around the timeless themes of collective responsibility and unintended consequences and includes echoes of these themes from history and mythology, reaching all the way back to the ancient Greeks, while using interactive technologies to further engage the audience-participants in the action.
