Through the Cracks is an Augmented Reality (AR) theatre app co-produced by Office of Everyone and English Touring Theatre. The project shares undervalued stories that have fallen through the cracks, both figuratively and literally. 'In time' by Sonali Bhattacharyya is the first story featured. The piece comprises two four minute scenes that can be experienced together or with a break. You should physically move your device and your body around the cracks in the floor as if they are part of your physical surroundings.
