Where There's Smoke
Where There's Smoke mixed live documentary, immersive theatre and elements of an escape room to create an experience that explores memory and loss. Set within the aftermath of a blaze, participants race to determine the cause of a tragic fire by sifting through the charred remains. Inspired by true events in writer/director Lance Weiler's life, Where There's Smoke detailed the connections between two mysterious fires and his father's battle with cancer.
