Immersive SEEING YOU Begins Performances in May Underneath The High Line

Seeing You, a new immersive experience, has been announced for a limited six-week engagement beginning May 2, 2017 underneath The High Line at 450 W 14th Street in New York City. Tickets are now on-sale at SeeingYou.NYC.

At once narcotic and eye-opening, Seeing You is the result of a bold collaboration between Randy Weiner, Ryan Heffington, and Cantora (Will Griggs and Nick Panama), featuring environmental storytelling from David Gallo and costume design from Desi Santiago.

Randy Weiner is a producer of Sleep No More at the formerly abandoned McKittrick Hotel and is the creator of Queen of the Night at the Diamond Horseshoe at the Paramount Hotel.

Ryan Heffington is a performance artist, choreographer, designer, director and the owner of The Sweat Spot dance space in Los Angeles. His collaboration with Sia on the "Chandelier" music video has garnered more than 1.5 billion internet views and he has worked with dozens of artists such as FKA Twigs, Paul McCartney and Arcade Fire. His most recent work includes the Netflix's series "The OA" and his collaboration with Spike Jonze on Kenzo's perfume commercial.

Cantora, led by Will Griggs and Nick Panama, is an entertainment venture group known for signing and developing internationally recognized artists such as MGMT, Bear Hands, and Francis and the Lights, producing live events across the US and Europe, and investing in early stage startups. Today, Cantora is focused on building entertainment experiences that reshape the relationship between audiences and performers.

David Gallo's work can be seen daily in over a dozen cities worldwide. His set designs, which The New York Times have described as "inspired" and "innovative," have won every major theater award including the Tony Award. David has collaborated with Phish, Blue Man Group, and Sesame Street. The Smithsonian Institution and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame both own samples of his work.

Desi Santiago is a New York City-based Puerto Rican visual artist. Santiago's artistic practice spans from 1990 to the present and is heavily influenced by the subcultures of nightlife, crossing over into the worlds of fashion and art. Santiago has previously collaborated with luxury brand Louis Vuitton for their Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs Retrospective at Musee des Arts Decoratif in Paris. He has designed fashion presentations for Loewe, Opening Ceremony, Y-3 and a fashion exhibition at Lincoln Center in New York City honoring Carolina Herrera. Santiago has also designed masks and costumes for McQueen: Savage Beauty (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2010 and V&A Museum, London, 2015), Madonna's MDNA tour, and Hedwig and The Angry Inch on Broadway.
