The Outpost, created and performed by Andrew Lund, is a one-on-one theatrical experience crafted from Lund's personal collisions with science and faith. Audience members are invited to this 15-minute adventure recounting the discovery of a plant that defies all scientific reason. The Outpost combines nostalgic childhood scouting experiences and Lund's passionate, physical storytelling for an intimate portrait of how our lives coincide with nature.
"This premiere from One On One Chicago, in which one performer and one audience member huddle together for 15 minutes, is full of evocative ideas and cryptic messages about faith, science, nature, and purpose...both the performance and the highly manipulated physical space continually provoke the imagination." -Justin Hayford, Chicago Reader
"If the beauty of immersive theatre is stepping into a new space and leaving your reality behind, The Outpost achieves that goal. A brief walk down the sidewalk, past an open-air restaurant, and you are transported into a remote cabin. Lund has been extremely resourceful with the execution of his design. The simplicity of the design feels complete, deliberate, and never forced." -Ben Needham, No Proscenium
