The Fahrenheit Alliance is an intimate, one-on-one multimedia immersive experience by Hirai-Kikaku and Media Kobo, a Japanese professional company. Inspired by the novel Fahrenheit 451 and based on Kyle Yamada's play, it leads each participant into a world where words survive through spoken transmission. Lying on a bed wrapped in a quilt, you discover another's memories through a montage of whispers, warmth and deep personal connection. When you leave, you record your own voice and images, which are sent on to be shared with someone, somewhere — the cycle continues.
Why see this show?
One of the most unusual things you can do at the Fringe — a deeply personal one-on-one experience that lasts only 20 minutes but may stay with you much longer. Gentle, intimate and quietly moving.
