About the Show

A combination of theatre, video, and immersive architecture that leads audiences through the galaxy.

Famed theatre, film, and installation artist, and longtime Wooster Group Member Andrew Schneider returns to BAM with his newest intersection of technology, human connection, and performance.

Throughout a darkened space, an invisible narrator leads each participant through a personal and collective cosmos. Five thousand specifically programmed points of light—inspired by seeing the Milky Way for the first time, Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Room, and more—respond to each individual.

Through movement, narrative, and the room’s enveloping sound, N O W I S W H E N W E A R E (the stars) encourages viewers to explore bits of light within themselves and the universe.

Banal, Confusing, Clever

See it if The room is quite remarkable especially upon entry and figuring out what in the world is happening is interesting

Don't see it if If you have trouble getting up from the floor its not the show for you; length of time in the room is a bit beyond the limits of interest

Pathetic, Cliched, Banal

See it if Nice staff at the reception.

Don't see it if Absolutely wasted time, on a pathetic semblance of immersive theater. The off-screen text is banal.
