Facility 111 is a surreal new audio play, written/performed live by Inge-Vera Lipsius. Taking place in darkness, it asks audiences to visualise poetic images in two interconnected cities—one made of glass, another of sand. Are we, ultimately, less different from one another than we might think?

Facility 111 premiered at Assembly during the Edinburgh Fringe 2025:
