Immersive · World Premiere 2017

THE OTHER SIDE

The debut performance of Iris Company — a dance theater performance blending psychological research and political commentary into a fully immersive artistic experience.

The Other Side invites you into an unconventional laboratory where you have the opportunity to wander through and witness a social experiment in action. This story, told through dance, theater, and video, is based on actual social science experiments that took place in the 60s and 70s. The Other Side had its world premiere in May 2017, with a sold-out run at Gramercy Studios.
