- Free

Join us for a work-in-progress presentation of HOW TO GET FREE. Catch a sneak-peak of this ASU Gammage Beyond Broadway 25-26 production (world premiere November, 2025), commissioned and developed by ASU Gammage and the ASU MIX Center.
This three part immersive performance ritual tackles the human condition head-on, revealing how contemporary life bears striking parallels to the enduring curses of Sisyphus, Tantalus and Narcissus. Writer/Performer Christopher Rivas delves into the haunting never ending cycle of memory, the capitalist obsession with “more,” and the self-indulgence of being trapped inside our own algorithms.
The installation is FREE and recommended for AGES 12+. Ticket reservations are required.
Runtime: 90 - 100 minutes with intermission
