On the heels of the extended sold-out run of The Present, writer and performer Helder Guimar茫es takes interactive at-home illusions into The Future with performances beginning December 4 at Geffen Stayhouse (as Los Angeles鈥� Geffen Playhouse has renamed themeselves during the shutdown).
"Perspective is everything"鈥攁nd in this show, participants will decide which version of events they prefer to see. Guimar茫es鈥� story takes audiences on a journey that includes stops at a high-stakes poker game and a pub in the south of France, exploring the seedy underbelly of the gambling world.
To make it a complete experience, the Geffen sends audience members a box of items to be opened only when Guimar茫es instructs during the performance. These items allow some of Guimar茫es鈥� illusions to happen in audience members鈥� own living rooms. Unlike most Zoom performances and akin to live theatre, audience members remain visible to each other throughout the show and are regularly called on to interact with Guimar茫es.
The Future marks the third collaboration between Guimar茫es and director Frank Marshall. In addition to this production, the Geffen is currently running the murder-mystery Citizen Detective and will present the world premiere of Bollywood Kitchen .
