SWARM
Encounters in secret corners of a confetti-filled nightclub.
SWARM was a hedonist nightclub set in the distant future, which changed depending on what the audience did throughout the night.
With multiple endings, multiple simultaneous narratives, a stock market bar and the focus on the audience to enjoy, dance and uncover the hidden narrative.

“A great, unorthodox alternative to a night out”
What audiences said
“A totally surreal evening that I will remember every time I go out, an amazing, surprising night out!”
“I forgot it was theatre”
“It was like going into another world.”
“I don't like going to the theatre, I find it quite self-indulgent. SWARM was the antidote to that feeling, this is the piece of theatre I have been waiting for.”
“Like playing a video game, being in a film and on stage at the same time”
“I lost the story but the story found me”
