Video Promo: Great Gold Bird, Great Dark Yawn, a wanderplay by Katie Green (throughout May, 2015)

A dark shape, a wooded clearing, a disappearing ship. A tin cup whistling on a string. Rabbits gathered in a torn dress: Twin Alchemy Collective presents GREAT GOLD BIRD, GREAT DARK YAWN (a wanderplay by Katie Green). Experience a multimedia, site-specific theatre piece/alternate reality game, inspired by classic point-and-click adventure games. You will travel to mystery locations all over Austin to find objects such as letters, photographs, home movies, and time capsules to uncover the narrative alone or in a group, on your own time (within the month of May). It should be completed in about 4 hours (not counting driving), but can be spread out over the course of a week or a month. Smart phone required (iphone and android). To purchase a ticket and begin your experience, visit our website: www.twinalchemy.com

Tickets for GREAT GOLD BIRD, GREAT DARK YAWN are now available! There are only 100, so get em while you can. If it says that the event is sold out, it probably isn't. That means you're trying to buy them on your phone. You can still purchase them on your phone, but you'll need to click on "standard website" in order to purchase. Email twinalchemy@gmail.com with any questions!
