🌀Castle Door, created and performed by Walker Caplan and Matt Romein opens this weekend at CultureHub🌀
🏰 We released a few more tickets this morning. Thursday and Friday are sold out, but there are a few tickets left for the Saturday shows. Get them while you still can !!
In this two-person performance, creators Walker Caplan and Matt Romein use and abuse the conventions of confessional monologue theater while using video game engines to puppet emotive 3D avatars, aided by PowerPoint presentations and live camera feeds. Fantasies are corrupted by hijacked imaginations, bodies are mediated through digital boundaries, and emotions are misinterpreted again and again and again.

🌀 CASTLE DOOR 🌀 A two-person performance by Walker Caplan ( @walkercapla ) and Matt Romein ( @header_munging )🌀 A narcissistic tutor teaches a homeschooled teenager creative writing over Zoom. When the student’s short stories reveal an unusually repressed worldview, he starts to suspect something is wrong. But is that real— or itself just a convenient fantasy? 🌀
🏰 Produced by CultureHub, @_maxnc_ & @jessie with support from @nyscouncilonthearts
