LIVE ART WALKING EXPERIENCE
Celebrate Center Theatre Group's 50th Anniversary Season with a pedestrian-based live art experience. You’ll join a group of 50 people swarming out into Los Angeles on a guided audio tour that seems to follow you as much as you are following it, directed and produced by award-winning international documentary theatre team Rimini Protokoll. Meet up, put on headphones, and have your perspective changed. You are provided with a soundtrack to the streets, sights, and rooftops of Los Angeles. A computer-generated voice sets you out on a trail through the city, guiding your group’s movements in real time. The performance reveals a "secret Los Angeles," continuing to places normally unseen, places where humans encounter their limits, places where crowds gather, back alleyways, dark hallways, and common areas seen through a new lens. At times the group is given tasks—take the Metro, travel at a new pace. You’re not just audience members—you’re actors and spectators, observers and observed, individuals and hordes, all at the same time.
If you've lived in Los Angeles for a while, you may think you know this city pretty well...but do you really? Center Theatre Group is setting out to reveal a "secret" Los Angeles while celebrating its 50th season with a live art theatrical experience, Remote L.A.
