GRAB YOUR FRIENDS AND EXPERIENCE AN ARTISTIC JOURNEY WITH REMOTE HOUSTON.
Join a group of fifty people swarming out into the city on a guided audio tour that seems to follow you, as much you are following it. Meet up, put on headphones, and your perspective changes—you are provided with a soundtrack to streets, parking garages, churches and backyards. A computer-generated voice sets you out on a trail through the city, guiding your group’s movements in real time. The performance reveals a “secret Houston,” continuing to places normally unseen, places where humans encounter their limits, places where crowds gather, Houston’s underground tunnel system, back alleyways, dark hallways, unseen areas of Houston, and common areas seen through a new lens. At times the group is given tasks—take the Metrorail, participate in or view the city through special binoculars. The experience will conclude in the Houston Theater District.
- Experience the element of surprise while wearing headphones as a computerized voice tells you where to go and what to do.
- Fun, interactive team building event for employees
- Ideal for individuals who are new to the city or visiting, young professionals and employees that want to be engaged with the city
