A Zuppa Production

Co-produced and Presented by Theatre Direct, York University – School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design, and York University Library

“The Archive of Missing Things was founded in order to collect, catalogue and store all missing objects that are in the world. The Archive was built around a secret.”

The Archive of Missing Things is a live/digital show for libraries, as well as an online game available at home. You have 90 minutes to explore a maze-like archive in search of the secret at its centre. Toggling between different views can reveal clues: if you look and listen closely enough, you may just notice them.

A meditative quest for the age of rising sea levels.
