Welcome to The Institute.
We conduct experiments into the power of imagination.
We want to know what happens to your mind when you read.
We want to get inside your heads.
It is all perfectly safe.

Using sound, intimate lighting, and projection, The Day I Fell Into A Book took its audience into a lost world of classic tales. Bit by bit, the fiction became reality as the stories seeped into the room and our imaginations took over.
A binaural sound and theatre experience that explores the magic of reading and the creative vitality of young minds.
Written and performed by Lewis Gibson

Light and projection design by Luca Biada
