Scott Silven in Tucson

Created and performed by the celebrated illusionist and directed by Graham McLaren, the production invites audiences to reflect on the things we lose and the strange beauty that remains.

Designed by Jamie Vartan, the show uses atmosphere and illusion to create a space where the impossible feels tangible. Silven's philosophy—that theatre is a place to witness the impossible together—infuses every moment, making this feel less like a magic show and more like a shared journey. Attendees can expect to be moved by illusions that have left audiences genuinely speechless.

As a co-commissioner of the production, Arizona Arts Live brings this work to Tucson, making the city part of its ongoing narrative. The evening offers a new perspective on memory, loss, and the surprising places where wonder lives.
