Crash-landing seven performers into a simulated Martian Environment in UNTITLED MARS: This Title May Change. The first in a trilogy of works for live performance under the banner SimulatedCities / SimulatedSystems, UNTITLED MARS is an international collaboration between celebrated theater ensemble Pont Mühely of Budapest and a team of research scientists phoning in their performance live via satellite from the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah. Sound fake? It’s not. UNTITLED MARS is a mind-bending excursion into an interplanetary future defined by Scheib’s signature multi-media aesthetic. This not to be missed performance is a Science vs. Fiction Simulation of Real Simulation as performed by Real Scientist in the very Real Utah desert. Rewriting Fiction with Reality UNTITLED MARS: This title may Change caps a year of collaboration with an international team of Space industry visionaries, artists and research scientists and students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
