MIA: Out of Sync is an immersive theatre performance that takes audiences on a guided journey through Battersea Arts Centre, culminating in a one-woman performance.
Wearing headphones, follow the voice of Mia, a young autistic woman, through corridors, staircases, and hidden corners, encountering a series of audio scenes and visual moments along the way. As Mia navigates adolescence, migration, and her film-making dreams, everyday spaces begin to shift — sounds layer, details intensify, and familiar environments become unfamiliar.
Written in collaboration with Cassie Siqi Xue, and produced by Summer Xue, MIA: Out of Sync was created as part of the Homegrown Festival 2026.
