THE WOODS

In this production, The Woods become a gathering place for searching souls awaiting a chance for change. Held together by this fragile connection, everyone who enters sees their own desires and fears written across the enchanted space.

The Woods celebrates the alchemical power of music and dance to transform fear and loss into life-affirming and communal experiences.

In this spirit, The Woods is meant to be undertaken in a crowd: in the words of San Fermin, “all together and all alone.” Drawing on elements of a live rock concert, theater, and contemporary dance The Woods is a singular and unforgettable event.

THE WOODS IS DESIGNED TO APPEAL TO A CONCERT-GOING AUDIENCE AS WELL AS THEATER-GOERS.

The Woods sold out its 500-capacity premiere at Pioneer Works across three nights, with a performance added to meet demand.

The audience is built-in and crossover: San Fermin brings 100M+ streams and a festival and television following, alongside a contemporary-arts audience. The 75-minute runtime supports an eight-performance week.

The Woods combines theatrical indie rock, immersive theater, and contemporary dance. The production is staged in a way that is both decentralized and in the round.

AN OPEN ROOM, A MOBILE CROWD, NO PROSCENIUM.

Audiences are encouraged to look and follow where their curiosity leads, so each viewer experiences a unique show based on their personal discoveries. Unlike other immersive performances, there are no dividing walls or secret rooms. The Woods is a communal experience that uses bold lighting, multiple decking based performance islands arranged throughout the space, and tree-like rope sculptures to bring the symbols, characters, and stories of The Woods to life in a mythic dreamscape where fantasy and reality blur.
