Tivoli

"I guess I should be worried that any minute people will come looking for me. But somehow I feel protected. Maybe it’s the darkness outside or the fact that talking to this guy tells me that a human being can just disappear. In fact a human being can become so invisible that they practically have to corner a total stranger and tell them their deepest, darkest secrets just to feel like someone else knows they exist. And so I don’t mind talking to the guy who wants to eat his dog. I guess I recognise something of myself in him... cause in a way, I’m a fugitive too."

Twenty years ago, Tivoli an isolated boarding school was destroyed by fire. That night a student named Imogen Knight went missing. Tivoli is a story of friendship, courage, fear and power in a world where alliances are necessary to survival and standing alone means risking everything.

However to tell Imogen’s story, I need your help. I want you, the audience, to tell me your stories. All you need to do to be a part of Tivoli is to create a postcard, which includes one sentence revealing something about yourself. It could be your biggest hope, your greatest fear, your one piece of advice for your adult self, a secret you have never revealed, anything!

Decorate your postcard, scan it and email it to: thetivoliproject@gmail.com.

The material you provide will be used to create an online time capsule, which holds the memories of the students from Tivoli and Imogen Knight's diary. That’s right, by contributing to the time capsule YOU will become a character in the story. When it is finished being written, Imogen’s diary will be available on Wattpad.

Part community art project, part interactive mystery, Tivoli is a first of its kind experiment in immersive storytelling. Read the first page for a hint of what's to come and check out our website for more details on the project and the people behind it at http://thetivoliproject.com
