A review from No Proscenium:

“Katalepsis supposes a grungy far future, after Humanity is devastated by combination virus/computer virus. There are very few survivors. At least, survivors who stayed fully human. Many instead choose to undergo a sci-fi medical procedure to partially digitize them, emerging centuries later as something part human, part machine, and part mushroom. That’s you. The medical procedure and its preceding informational video presentation serve as the audience’s on-boarding for both the setting and rules for how to behave during the show. Katalepsis is an exemplar of the gift immersive theatre can give us. It succeeds in walking a thin line: Both an engrossing escape from the everyday and art that shines a light on these recent years we’d like to forget. The strong on-boarding and remarkably thorough set transports the audience to a world just different enough that we let the cast give us a good look at our world outside. If you’ve been missing immersive theatre, mask up and head for this future now.”—No Proscenium
