Experiment #39 (Old City)
Location | Philadelphia, PA
Presented by | Philadelphia FringeArts festival
Date | September 2014
For Experiment #39 (Old City), the IPA infiltrated one of the oldest neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Presented by the Philadelphia FringeArts festival, the local press called the piece “ergodic and cathartic.”
At the headquarters of IPA (located in the Philadelphia Historic District) audience members went through the IPA’s patented intake process before embarking on a carefully crafted journey that uncovered the unique, hidden and spectacular gems of this historic neighborhood.
The project involved dozens of local artists, performers, businesses, residents and Fringe fanatics, creating adventures in one of America’s most historic districts.
