True North: by Lee Nowell, directed by Heidi S Howard

Presented by 7 Stages Theatre

All compasses point to Magnetic North, but it is shifting! This scientific theatrical experience asks us to consider the invisible forces around us, the ways we interact with them, and the ways they affect all of us. An immersive performance combines the latest scientific research with ancient practices which enable each of us to ground ourselves in the midst of uncertainty.

Atlanta playwright Lee Nowell’s play True North first came to 7 Stages as part of our Home Brew @ Home Series in 2020, and is now being developed as a full stage production. This scientific theatrical experience asks audiences to consider the things around them that they can’t see, like electromagnetic energy and the way we interact with it, in addition to the way it affects all of us.

All compasses point to Magnetic North, but Magnetic North is currently moving erratically – averaging 34 to 40 miles per year- and humans feel it. When magnetic fields move erratically, the part of our brain that makes ethical decisions becomes impaired, and our health can be compromised.

Developed in partnership with a NASA scientist, the project illuminates the dedicated work of scientists from around the world. True North is a creative exploration of the forces that interconnect us, and the ways we can accept and work within them to stabilize ourselves internally and create a more just, peaceful world. Characterizations of Magnetic North and the Noosphere are paired with relatable everyday Joe and a scientist speaking her truth. The show is a guidebook, combining the latest scientific research with ancient practices from cultural traditions which enable each of us to ground ourselves in the midst of uncertainty.

This event repeats on March 16, March 18, March 21 and March 22.
