Middlemist Red aims to reconnect children of the digital age with the importance of conservation through an immersive, analog mystery experience to find a flower has gone missing from a botanical garden. On the journey to find the plant, audiences uncover the story of the Middlemist Society and the mission of a gardener who is trying to stop even more plants from disappearing.
Middlemist Red is a flexible, immersive experience for children ages 7-11 that can be programmed indoors and/or outdoors, in gardens or parks, with many potential partnerships/collaboration with public artists, educational institutions, and more.
