Where do unwanted people go?
“Witness,” the latest project from Arlekin’s Zero Gravity (zero-G) Virtual Theater Lab, is a new documentary theater piece about Jewish immigration in the face of antisemitism. “Witness” brings actors and audience together from around the world for a shared immersive experience set on a boat in digital space. The piece is inspired by the journey of the MS St. Louis, which left Hamburg in 1939 with over 900 Jewish people on board and headed to Cuba only to be turned away, leaving the passengers stranded with nowhere to go and no escape.
“Witness” shares stories of Jewish immigrants from around the globe through an interactive virtual theater experience at the nexus of film, theater and video games.

Conceived and directed by Igor Golyak. Written by Nana Grinstein with Blair Cadden and Igor Golyak. Scenography and costume design by Anna Fedorova. Virtual design by Daniel Cormino. Produced by Sara Stackhouse and featuring the Arlekin Acting Company.
