We are Door 1 Immersive!
Door 1 Immersive is a non-profit theater company, created by students of IESA and PSB’s performing art management MBA program. Door 1 Immersive produces original plays to share stories of global social issues, told through the unique voice of immersive theater.
We felt the importance of bringing awareness to domestic violence. Using immersive performance as a tool to stop the silence, we want the audience to live the experience, and thereafter reflect and question:
“What would I do in this situation in real life?”
The performers all come from the prestigious acting school Cours Florents. Absorbed in their characters and their stories, they will react and improvise on different scenarios according to different set of audience. In an immersive performance, every show will be different!
Coming from different backgrounds but sharing a common love for the stage, we created Door 1 Immersive in the hope of combating social issues around the world, while fulfilling our artistic desire.
Over the year, the Door 1 Immersive team has done thorough research, partnered with women shelters, and conducted close interviews with victims of abuse.
The final result, "Closed Door", represents our unified intent of standing against domestic violence!
