Where do we go when we are lost? Outheis as a multi-location journey that sends audiences on a search to find out. Sent to find a missing person equipped with no more than a few cryptic clues left before their escape, audiences travel through a series of mysterious encounters with strange characters, forced to question what they know and who to trust. Based on mythic stories of homecoming and influenced by the many histories that now call Canada home, Outheis sends audiences on a quest for answers. Spanning five secret locations and using a web of clues, characters, and hidden digital links to trace the trail from location to location, audiences are put into action to find the lost soul and understand the reasons behind their disappearance.
“For many people around the world, the desire for a house is surely just a dream, and each person has their idea of what a home means” - Creator / Director Griffin Hewitt

“The assembly of the activity at the beginning is incredible; the locations all offered an aura of mystery, as if they had been designed exclusively to be used for the work as every detail in its composition had been taken care of. The… actors, absolutely wonderful. The experience for the viewer, amazing. The reflections offered by each “stop” of the search were very interesting, it made your head explode”
