All for One for All

All for One for All is an interactive theatrical game show. One audience member is chosen from a pool of willing participants. The chosen person is then brought to the stage, seated in a chair and becomes the One. The rest of the audience, now called the All, work together to create experiences, compete, and play with the One. xLq will be your hosts, guiding the All and the One through games, challenges, meditations and dances.
