Void Main at cirqueSaw

Every astronaut knows the risks. Every trip up might not come back down and one wrong choice–however small–might mean the total loss of the mission. But this is just a routine call home during a routine science mission. In Void Main, your smallest choices determine the fate of one astronaut alone on a station 750 million miles away. With 128 different ways the story can unfold, no two shows will be the same.

Void Main first premiered as a workshop in the 2023 From Home Festival, winning the Young-Howze Theatre Journal’s 2024 Immersive Production of the Year award. The play is the first public work created entirely in cirqueSaw’s in-house programming language Familect, and runs in cirqueSaw OS, an in-browser interactive platform. This unique platform allows the creation of innovative interactive work that runs on a wide range of hardware, and underpins cirqueSaw’s commitment to the repertory model and accessibility.
