The Curious Voyage

Written and Created by DANIELE BARTOLINI

‍Based on an idea by ARKADY SPIVAK

October 23 – November 10, 2018

Various locations throughout Barrie, Ontario, Canada & London, England

For immersive theatre aficionados, culture vultures, musical theatre buffs, and adventure seekers, The Curious Voyage was the ultimate experience as viewer became participant. Staged in two versions: a 1-day adventure for audiences local to London, England; and a 3-day experience taking audiences from Barrie, Ontario to London, England and back. The unique journey unfolded through one-on-one exchanges, surprise interactions, and installations devised for one voyager at a time. The maze-like narrative of encounters with performers and clues throughout the city culminated in a stunning site-specific rendition of a Tony Award-winning musical which was kept secret from voyagers until the very first line was sung. Spoiler alert: it was Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street; Book by Hugh Wheeler, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
