The Miniature
The Miniature is a 30-minute, mind-bending immersive audio and live storytelling experience for two individuals.
Inside a shed, with headphones on and a single performer, audiences are enfolded in an otherworldly journey. A couple, on the brink of life-changing decisions, begin to build a miniature scale model of their dream house. But as the model takes shape things quickly spiral out of control. The piece explores the fragile balance between the future and the present and invites guests to take part in an intimate act of collective imagination.

“The Miniature is a deft work of intimate, reflective storytelling. Simon Lyshon's design and performance are both subtle and striking. I look forward to seeing his next experiential work.”
