A rising force in the immersive theater world, The Exodus Ensemble is bringing their acclaimed production of ZERO to Albuquerque this November, presented in collaboration with Chatter. After captivating audiences in Santa Fe and San Francisco, this tour marks their highly anticipated debut in the Albuquerque arts scene.
SANTA FE, N.M., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fresh off a year of major achievements, including winning the New Mexico Entertainment Award for top performing arts group, receiving the Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in the category of Innovator, and gracing the cover of American Theatre Magazine, The Exodus Ensemble is excited to announce its Albuquerque tour of ZERO. This cutting-edge immersive theater experience will run throughout November 2024 in collaboration with Chatter Albuquerque, marking ZERO‘s Albuquerque debut after successful runs in Santa Fe and San Francisco.
Catherine Oppenheimer, co-founder of the National Dance Institute of New Mexico and the New Mexico School for the Arts, serves on The Exodus Ensemble’s board and shared her excitement about this new chapter: “Exodus is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional theater by creating immersive experiences that fully engage, touch and transform audiences. Their donation ticket model is a game changer, making theater accessible for everyone. They deserve all the awards they have won both for their artistry and for their commitment to the arts in New Mexico.”
This collaboration marks a thrilling convergence of two forward-thinking arts organizations. Chatter Albuquerque, known for hosting boundary-pushing music performances, provides the perfect setting for ZERO, an interactive, sci-fi theater production where the audience plays a crucial role in the unfolding drama. This partnership exemplifies both organizations’ commitment to pushing boundaries in their respective fields.
Tony Zancanella, Executive Director of Chatter Albuquerque, commented on the partnership: “The collaboration between Exodus and Chatter has felt like a collision of artistic energy. We are looking to create spaces where audiences aren’t just witnesses but co-conspirators. ZERO taps into something authentic, raw and real, a kind of futuristic truth that we’re thrilled to help bring to life in Albuquerque.”
April Cleveland, Artistic Director and co-founder of The Exodus Ensemble, added: “Partnering with Chatter Albuquerque aligns with our mission to push the boundaries of what theater can be. Like Chatter, we’re passionate about creating experiences that blend tradition with bold, new approaches. Exodus serves both theatre aficionados and those who might be skeptical of traditional theatre. Our partnerships range from professional sports teams to cannabis firms, demonstrating our commitment to intersectionality and innovation. This approach aligns perfectly with Chatter Albuquerque’s progressive ethos, making them an ideal partner for our first tour in Albuquerque.”
The story of ZERO melds the worlds of science fiction, artificial intelligence, and a cutting edge tech company called “Equilibrium” into something entirely new. With an audience capacity of 30, viewers are sure to have a personal connection with performers.
