Third Rail Projects' award-winning Then She Fell will celebrate its 7th Anniversary on Sunday, October 6, 2019. This immersive theater event, which has played over 4000 performances, is inspired by the life and writings of Lewis Carroll (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). Then She Fell takes place at The Kingsland Ward at St. Johns, a century-old institutional building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn where the action plays out on 3 floors. Tickets are currently on sale through January 19, 2020.
THEN SHE FELL is a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience in which only 15 audience members at a time explore a dreamlike world where every alcove, corner, and corridor has been transformed into lushly designed performance space. Inspired by the life and writings of
Lewis Carroll, it offers an 'Alice-like' experience for audience members as they explore the rooms, often by themselves, in order to discover hidden scenes; encounter performers one-on-one; unearth clues that illuminate a shrouded history; use skeleton keys to gain access to guarded secrets; and imbibe custom-designed elixirs.
Written, directed, designed and choreographed by
Zach Morris,
Tom Pearson and
Jennine Willett in collaboration with The Company,
Then She Fell evokes the inner, psychological landscapes of
Lewis Carroll, Alice Liddell, and iconic characters from Carroll's texts. Every aspect of each audience member's experience has been meticulously designed, from lush environments to the smells, tastes, and objects, that they discover as they explore and unravel a narrative that balances dream, reality, fact, and fiction.
