SUMMARY:Iris Company presents THE STILL POINT: An Immersive Experience
DESCRIPTION:This event is a fiscally sponsored project of SOMArts Cultural Center.   \nJoin Iris Company as they transform the stunning SOMArts gallery space into a liminal world of infinite possibility. This immersive dance-theater performance invites audiences to explore the world of the show on foot\, surrounded by light and color\, as the choreography and action unfold around you. \nThe Still Point is a 70-minute multi-room immersive walk-through performance combining dance\, theater\, interactive projection\, scenic installation\, and an original score. \nFour fractured figures are suspended in parallel worlds\, each trapped within unresolved memories. As audience members move through the space\, the boundaries between these worlds begin to break down\, setting in motion an exploration of identity\, disconnection\, and the longing to reconnect with oneself and community. \nPerformance Dates & TimesDoors open 30 minutes prior to each performance: \n\nThurs\, July 16th: 8pm\nFri\, July 17th: 8pm\nSat\, July 18th: 8pm\nSun\, July 19th: 7pm\nFri\, July 24th: 8pm\nSat\, July 25th: 8pm\n\nKey Details\nTickets $45–$72\nAppropriate for ages 13 +\n6 Nights Only\nDrinks Available for Purchase\nMulti-Room Immersive Experience\n70 Minutes\nPrimarily a standing and walking experience (limited seating available)\n\nAccessibilityThe Still Point is ADA accessible and designed to be a primarily standing and walking experience. Limited seating will be available. If you have accessibility needs\, please contact us at iriscompanysf@gmail.com before your visit and we will do our best to accommodate you. \nNote: This show includes mature themes\, immersive environments\, darkness\, flashing lights\, and moments of psychological intensity. \nArtist Supporter Tier TicketsFor those who are able\, we highly encourage you to purchase an Artist Supporter Tier Ticket. Ticket sales directly support the artists who have spent the last year bringing this ambitious project to life. If one-third of our audience chooses the Supporter Tier\, it will help us establish a foundation for future Bay Area projects while supporting the artists\, designers\, performers\, and collaborators who make this work possible.
