Our friends at the Alley Theatre are putting on an innovative Artistic Journey with REMOTE HOUSTON. A computer-generated voice sets you out on a trail through the city, guiding your movement through an interactive pedestrian-based live art experience. The journey starts in the East End, and you will be guided via headphones to various locations, and you will finally end up in the Theater District. REMOTE HOUSTON is a project by German Stefan Kaegi. He studied arts in Zurich and drama at the Giessen University, and creates theater actions that strongly enter the urban space. In his works, he usually engages citizens (that he calls “experts”) who are forced to find their way in unusual situations. If you’d like to know more, check out our website.
