E4LD is an art project created by The Other Theatre, selected for the 2013 season of the New York-based, non-profit organization Project for Empty Space. It consists of two parts: a series of in situ-participative-performance-installations taking place in the Spring; and a series of public outdoor film screenings taking place in the Fall – both in New York City.

E4LD is a hybrid project mixing theatre, architecture and cinema. It invites the public into an empty space, gives them mp3 players, and asks them to create a performance based on the choreographic instructions that they hear. Duos, groups and individuals move, dance, interact. During the piece, the public is filmed, creating yet another interpretation of the experience.

The piece explores the use of mp3 players as a tool for organizing territory, time and the boundaries of the body in public space. It challenges our concept of the traditional and «comfortable» dynamic of the spectator-performer relationship and at the same time, asks us to look at how architectural space influences our capacity for heroic and personal expression.
