A leap into the unknown
Leap into the Unknown is one of the theatre’s most iconic projects. Twenty-five years ago, ARTiSHOCK announced the performance with these words:
«Leap into the Unknown is a play created before the audience’s eyes and with their participation. We take a ‘theme’ for improvisation from the audience - and that’s how our performance begins. We don’t know how it will end. Together with you, we leap into the unknown.»
Today, the concept remains the same - yet it has grown into a manifesto. Leap into the Unknown is not just an evening of unpredictable stories shaped by the audience’s input. It is not playback theatre in the usual sense. For ARTiSHOCK, it is a principle of creating theatre itself - our school, our method. Leap into the Unknown is, above all, an act of trust, of flight, of risk, and of complete artistic vulnerability. It is a space where we unite and draw closer to one another, because we all leap into the unknown together.
The boldest, most daring, reckless, and honest performance in the theatre’s history - Leap into the Unknown - because true improvisation can only be this way.
