Running 24 hrs/day for a week, this show fosters a quality of attention like wilderness wandering: expansive and still, full of unexpected discovery, engendering retrospection. Like the wilderness, it exists before you enter and continues after you leave. You can choose single or multiple stays, create a durational experience or schedule repeated visits throughout the week.
The Retreat is a world of fabric and light, sound and movement. It is dance performance and music concert. It is shared meals and participatory meditative movement practice. It is art sleep-overs and curated conversation. Culminating a four-year project cycle, The Retreat : One Week is sprawling and minute, mesmerizingly repetitive and chaotically unpredictable. It functions as a retreat, offering deep engagement and a state of beneficial boredom, positioning this often-suppressed form of attention as radical engagement with time and self.
Imagine this like a trip to an urban National Park. We will provide for your needs but it will be more akin to camping than a hotel stay. The environment of The Retreat is raw and luminous, both austere and snug. The Glass Factory is wheelchair accessible. There is ample free street parking in the area.
After you submit your ticket requests we will be in touch with further information to help you best prepare for the experience
