The Encounter

Alien Anthropologist

An interactive pop-up performance that invites the audience to question and explore what it means to be human. 

The immersive theatrical experience draws the audience into a surreal and absurd world that sparks self-reflection, wonder and curiosity surrounding the human species.

THE WORLD

Alien Anthropologists have landed on a foreign planet and are trying to figure out what species inhabits the place. By using elaborate anthropological methodologies such as participatory observation, in-depth interviews and collection of objects, the aliens gather information and open a space of collective reflection on what it means to be human.

The Aliens come from a planet ruled by THE GREAT LOBSTER. Their mission is to gather data for THE MINISTRY to have a better understanding of the various types of life in the universe.

They do not carry names, feel emotions or understand linear time and logic. Coming from a completely different context outside human logic, they carry a childlike curiosity and wonder towards the species and beings they encounter. They are there to learn and be amazed.
