Simon McBurney Gets Inside Your Head in Broadway's The Encounter

The solo show is also conceived and directed by McBurney.

We recommend you watch this video with headphones because Simon McBurney's ''The Encounter'', which begins performances on Broadway later this month, makes exhaustive use of 3-D audio. In our video from the solo show's recent press event, McBurney explains the impressive technology of his binaural head and gives us a taste of the tricks that perception can play on our minds.

It's a rather interesting experience. It's not a "broadway show" for touriss who are expecting song and dance numbers. It's a very interesting experience though. If there is an "original cast" recording then listen to it with headphones and save $145 for an orchestra seat.

Yes. During the Broadway show, the audience is asked to wear headphones.
