“Panopticon” refers to a glass prison designed by the 18th century social philosopher and theorist Jeremy Bentham where all (“pan”) inmates could be watched (“opticon”) over by one guard, situated securely and invisibly inside a central tower, unseen by the prisoners themselves. The piece surrounds audience members in a three-dimensional, multi-sensory maze that transforms around audience members and performers alike as events progress.

Panopticon is an hourlong immersive production. The audience stands and walks through the performance; there is no traditional audience seating. The performance is wheelchair accessible.
