| Popis: | ZU-UK are renowned for their distinctive personal, political and sometimes humorous approach to creating interactive performance. Known for their attention to detail, care and complete respect for audience members, the company are leaders in participatory theatre and performance art.\ud \ud Previous productions include the widely acclaimed Hotel Medea (2009-2012) which was performed at LIFT Festival, the Hayward Gallery and Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won a Herald Angel Award, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011; Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mention; and was Time Out Critic’s Choice – Pick of the Fringe 2011.\ud \ud From June to December 2015, 7000 visitors experienced #RioFoneHack in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where three iconic Brazilian phone boxes rang as visitors walked past. Those who dared to pick up were treated to an interactive, intimate and humorous audio experience. Binaural Dinner Date (2017) enjoyed a sold out season and an extended run at Theatre Royal Stratford East, eventually transferring to Stratford Shopping Centre. More recently Binaural Dinner Date (2019) transferred to Rich Mix for an additional sold out season.
