We Live Here

Our agenda falls away by the end, and we just celebrate being together for the first time.

We Live Here was a participatory theatre experience created by Hand2Mouth and a vibrant group of collaborating artists. Taking place in a vacated store in the Lloyd Center Mall, We Live Here gathered the audience as a snapshot of a community within a civic space. Each show differed by live-gathering the audience’s personal responses creating a singular new ‘town’ for each show. The piece was designed to guide the audience through the passage of human lives through interactive touchpoints, to showcase and value the uniqueness of every life story in our community.

The performance aimed to explore the commonality of difference; creating a snapshot of society by diving into what we have in common - and do not- in our lived experiences that help define our lives. The show celebrated profound unity through unique diversity in as inclusive, open, inviting, and public a way as possible.
