Collaboraction Presents:
a theatrical journey investigating the exchange of materials, moments and messages
On the eve of the holiday season, Collaboraction will take audiences on an immersive and interactive adventure through the act of gifting with the world premiere of G.I.F.T. Conceived and directed by Collaboraction company member and Creative Director, Sam Porretta, and inspired by Lewis Hyde’s “The Gift,” G.I.F.T. explores the nature of gifts, community and culture while leading the audience on a partially open-aired journey through a sprawling warehouse compound and soundstage.
G.I.F.T. will play for three weeks only
November 12-29, 2009
at 459 N. Wolcott, Chicago IL
Space is Limited- Reserve your seat HERE
An ensemble of 11 performers and a multi-disciplinary design team bring a new world to life in a production that is not a typical “holiday” offering. Otherworldly characters exist in strange worlds of their own and among the audience members, as they bring the audience on a journey that traverses through four different environments built within the 7,000 square foot compound that Collaboraction now calls home. In an interactive and transformative environment, audiences can participate and ruminate on gifting as we enter a season full of certain expectations.

Collaboraction's 100 Gifters Campaign
Support innovative and inspiring new work!
Are you a G.I.F.T.er?Even if each and every audience member makes the suggested donation, the costs of the production would still be far greater than the revenues generated. This is why Collaboraction depends on donations from individuals such as yourself to make the creation of new work sustainable. We're asking 100 supporters to please consider making a donation of any amount as your way of taking a stand for interactive adventure in theatre! We'll be keeping track of and posting our generous donors to G.I.F.T on our website and at the production space so check in during the run to see our progress towards our goal of 100 supporters.
Thank you and I hope to see you at G.I.F.T.!
