Monster! is a mischievous, interactive projection-mapping adventure from award-winning artist Christopher Harrisson. Strange, brightly coloured creatures have taken over the Judges’ Lodgings, peering out from the windows. They might look mean and scary, but don’t be fooled; these monsters are all about fun, and they want you to join them! Audiences will have the chance to place themselves among the fearsome beasts. Step into the spotlight, pull your silliest faces, and unleash your inner monster. Being weird, wild, and wonderfully hideous is highly encouraged. Monster! is a playful exploration of otherness and our fear of difference. If we can look beyond fleeting first impressions, we might just find common ground. We’re all a bit strange, so let’s be strange together.
