No Save Points is billed as 'a play you can play' that allows the audience to control the actor's body
A new immersive theatre project merges the stage with video games. As a member of the No Save Points audience, viewers have the autonomy to control the actor's body through video game console controls.
Commotion guest host Talia Schlanger talks with No Save Points creator Sébastien Heins about the show, what it's like allowing the audience to control his performance, and how he's honouring his mother by relinquishing control through his art.
No Save Points runs from June 6 - 25 at Outside The March theatre in Toronto.
