On today’s episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with two of the artists behind the surprise, immersive hit show “The Death of Rasputin,” Ashley Brett Chipman and Hope Youngblood. Chipman is the creator and co-director, while Youngblood is the creative producer and co-director.
The show is running through the end of May at a venue specifically designed for the experience on Governor’s Island, and a ticket to the show includes a ticket for the ferry over. A choose-your-own-adventure type of immersive show, “The Death of Rasputin” is described as:
Step into a world where history is suspended, allegiances are tested, and desire will save you. The Death of Rasputin isn’t just an immersive performance — it’s a revolution.
Your fate awaits in 1916 Petrograd, Russia, — where war, scandal, and the occult collide. The opulent Romanovs cling to power. Enraged workers fight to survive. The philandering Rasputin captures the longing of all who suffer.
Befriend revolutionaries, scavenge the palace, and devour the narrative. Stakes are high. Where will your allegiance lie?
