About Transience
A Hitcher Encounters Interactive Production
Transience is a newly curated, intimate performance that whisks the audience through a suspenseful adventure. A one-on-one, interactive phone call experience personalised for each audience member.
Structured like a video game, the audience’s ‘mission’ is to find a missing artefact that has been lost for years after being sucked inside a magical arcade game.
Each call is one-of-a-kind; the entire trajectory is determined by the audience responses and ideas; no two Transience performances are alike.
Hitcher Encounters meets the Oregon Trail in this video game like a choose-your-own-adventure style call made for anyone craving an arcade game from the comfort of their own home.
Reviews
There’s a scene from Inception in which Elliot Page’s character describes the “pure discovery” of architecting dream worlds. Transience, by Hitcher Encounters, offers a similar experience for audiences.
