Choose a costume and step into the world of MASS
Immerse yourself in the warm, gentle sense of uncertainty and possibility
You will be taken by the hand, accompanied on a journey of encounters, guided through movement
Invisible, yet able to see, and feel, everything?
Become a witness to…
A creator of…
And immerse yourself in…
Audience responses to R&D:
“the piece offers the audience an intimate, beautiful and totally immersive connection to the performers. I was transported into a seductive sensory world”
“complex and multi-layered, but simple and stripped back at the same time”
“What lingers for me is care, connection, space, simplicity”
“an emotional experience” “a sense of intimacy with oneself but part of a pack” “otherworldly”

#MASS
#RobertClarkMASS
MASS brings people together in an experiential antidote to our pervasive fears towards difference and otherness, exploring relationships between our senses, perception, and with belief, as individuals and as a society. It is a response to our current urban environment and societal trends to disengage and disconnect from the world and others around us.
Experience the blissful peace of being invisible in a group, and a state of not-knowing as we explore ideas of connection, separation, judgement and expectation.
MASS takes you through an immersive journey – a magical and profound affirmation of the complexities of being.
