Lend us your ears, your time, and most importantly, your curiosity. Step past the threshold of reality and step into the “IMAGINARIUM”.

We’re all spending more time alone in our bedroom for the past year, more than any other time in our lives. It’s a strange period of isolation and stagnation happening around the world. How do we deal with this crisis? How can we feel free in our hearts and minds when we are imprisoned in our own homes? How can the arts mend our sufferings when it is under the same constraints?

For those who’ve had their curiosities piqued, Out of the Blue Theatre invites you to discover a whole new imaginative universe within your bedroom in “IMAGINARIUM”, an audio-immersive theatrical experience. In this entertaining and cathartic audio-immersive experience, “IMAGINARIUM” acknowledges the limitations lockdowns have imposed on the theatre industry and people’s lives. So escape the confines of your space and follow us into the impossible. It is time to step out of your comfort zone and break out of the ordinary. Welcome to the “IMAGINARIUM”!


流动的水、梦境、狭小的衣橱、左邻右舍、刹那间又来到世界末日......
在视角和感官体验的不断变换中,观察并重塑着周遭的日常环境;
在立体多声道筑起的精妙灵动空间里,跟随讲述者的磁性声线,
与远方的观众在同一时间漫游、探索、自由舞动,
看见你全新的房间。

创作于全球疫情和剧院关闭时期,互动式,“身临其境”声音作品《想象场》让观众能够在自己的卧室中体验空间的无限可能。在58分钟的过程中,《想象场》将卧室空间转变成了新的剧场,让人们去探索、玩耍,使得我们在物理限制中得以通过想象力寻找自由,在隔离的条件下重新建立人与人、人与世界的联系。这部沉浸式的声音戏剧体验中,发现小小卧室内的全新世界。

把你的耳朵交给我们,带上你的想象力和好奇心,在《想象场》中一同飞越梦境与现实的界限吧。

About Out of the Blue Theatre Company

Out of the Blue Theatre Company logo

Out of the Blue Theatre is an international theatre company formed by three young artists from different backgrounds, Haylin Cai, Harry Dean and Tingying Dong. United by their collective curiosities and passion for fostering a sense of awareness, openness, connection and play through theatre, the young artists go through extended research and development during the making of their works and usually involve people from diverse fields along the way. They question how theatre can engage with the human condition and constantly experiment with what theatre can be in the age of globalisation and information. “IMAGINARIUM”, an audio-immersive theatrical experience, is the theatre’s debut production.

关于Out of the Blue剧团

Out of the Blue是一个国际化戏剧剧团,由Haylin Cai,Harry Dean和董三丁共同创立。三位年轻艺术家各来自不同的社会和训练背景,三个人都对世界充满好奇心,致力于用戏剧打开人们的心灵、连接彼此、激发人们的想象力、感受力。

好奇心引导着Out of the Blue剧团不断去探索、研究;我们从不同文化和社会中汲取灵感,也总是邀请自各个领域的人们来影响我们的创作过程。我们反思剧场能如何与人类境遇相互动,如何回应我们全球化、信息化的时代背景。

我们的首部作品《想象场》的灵感起源于疫情下的全球封锁对戏剧与人们日常生活的限制;它通过沉浸式声音这个媒介,为听众带来治愈又趣味十足的丰富体验。
