Welcome to the Cave

Designed for the Void, this immersive retelling of Plato's Allegory of the Cave from Republic invites participants to interact with one another and with AI characters to figure out the Cave's secrets---and ultimately, how to escape it. In-person actors play the role of Hosts, welcoming participants into the space. The Hosts control shadows that make up a game that the participants and AI characters play together for points. Talking with the characters and exploring the space, participants soon realise that they are being tricked by the Hosts. If they can douse the light, the exit will become clear.
