Synopsis
THE IMPROVISED HISTORY OF THE WORLD is an interactive, immersive musical where audience members are given a chance to shape a new version of their own history – think of it as of a “choose your own adventure” show. Taking ancient history as a starting point, audiences will be given a chance to make decisions that will impact the entire performance – progressing through medieval times all the way to the modern history and near future. Experience the power of early empires, feel the weight of the crown in medieval times, choose your side during the cold war or feel the blood rush ofa space race. The choice is yours. Written by four established British poets with music composed by the most promising European artists, this show presents its audiences with over twenty-‐five scenarios and almost unlimited variations of the story – utilising tools such as improvised music and live performance poetry.
