Nevermore
What is NEVERMORE?
It's LA's first immersive arts festival that explores the East San Fernando Valley along METRO’s Orange Line just in time for Halloween!
* Come wearing your favorite costume, check-in, get a METRO Day Pass at the community festival and depart on the METRO Orange Line for an adventure through 8 performance stops near METRO stations from Woodley Park through the Eclectic Company Theatre @ Laurel Canyon.
* Discover a world haunted by the escaped works of Edgar Allan Poe, reimagined as local stories. Each stop features a distinct story and new artist or artistic ensemble, spotlighting diverse art forms, from poetry to weaving to Virtual Reality. It's up to you to end the haunting and release Poe’s spirit in this choose-your-own-adventure theatrical scavenger hunt.
* Weave your journey through the ongoing everyday life of the community and bus riders: you'll discover the hidden treasures of the East San Fernando Valley, dine with local street vendors, and explore the visceral power of poetry and immersive performance as never before.
