FEARLESS is an experiment in theatrical spectatorship and itsintersection with new technology. By using the FEARLESS app, audiences will get in their cars and trackdown our performers in downtown Markham to experience this intimate and interactive newperformance work. In these one-to-one micro-performances, the driver is the only audience, eachperformance happens only for them, is never the same twice and is different for every single driver.

In the vein of their experimental multilocation work SEX TAPE PROJECT, fu-GEN uses non-traditionalmethodologies to create a diversity in theatre practice, providing greater access to audiences unfamiliarwith – or just dissatisfied with – traditional theatre performance. As a company, fu-GEN has always beendedicated to representing the Asian Canadian experience and fostering talent within the Asian Canadianartistic community. With FEARLESS, fu-GEN is using an immersive experience to bring their work to thebroader Asian Community outside of Toronto in a compelling and inventive form.

"I’ve been kind of obsessed with how we engage with entertainment, because it’s very personal now thatmore of it is digital. We have a relationship with our screens that feels curated and safe and private. Sothe question is, how can we preserve that intimacy while still creating something that’s live and risky andunexpected? Because no two people will have the same experience with FEARLESS, it becomes somethingtruly theatrical and ephemeral, but also highly individual; something very intimately personal thathappens once, and never again."

-Artistic Director, David Yee
