By Robin Barnes,  Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe Headlong Dance Theater will premiere their newest work This Town is a Mystery at the 2012 Philadelphia Live Arts Festival.  But first, they must find four Philadelphia households to participate.  It could be in your home.  You could be the star.

Combining movement, stories, music, and video, Headlong will work with each household to create an extraordinary show, a journey into the world of each home. Audiences will come to the featured home (with a potluck dish to share) and watch a 20-minute show. Afterwards, performers and audience will have dinner together.

Why is Headlong daring to do this?  Why will every-day Philadelphians open themselves and their homes for such an event?  Because every household is a universe.  Because the stories, lives, and homes of real Philadelphians are epic and surprising and moving and hilarious. Because being the show is better than watching the show. Because Philadelphia has beautiful mysteries on every block.
