Performance Art

Sweet & Lucky

Performance created by the group Third Rail Projects, and commissioned by Denver Center for the Performing Arts, first premiered on the 17th of May in 2016. Its creators described it as "immersive theatre" and it was critically acclaimed.

Sleep No More

An award winning theatrical experience that tells Shakespeare’s Scottish tragedy, through a darkly cinematic lens. The story unfolds through an awe-inspiring blend of acrobatic choreography, film noir soundtrack, and countless rooms of densely detailed atmosphere. Guests decide where to go and what to see, ensuring that everyone’s journey is unique, and each visit is different.

 

The Broadcast

The Broadcast is a comedy play set on the set of an American 70’s sketch comedy show where everything’s starting to go a bit wrong. The character’s clashing personalities and terrible organisation might spell disaster for the future of the show but most importantly, can they save their careers?

Then She Fell

Then She Fell was a fully immersive, multisensory experience in which only 15 audience members per performance explored a dreamscape where every alcove, corner, and corridor had been transformed into a lushly designed world.

Textúra

The artworks featured in the performance – together with the pieces brought from the Hungarian National Gallery for this occasion – span nearly 4000 years: visitors will explore almost every collection unit of the museum during their journey.

Free UR Head

Free UR Head is an accessible dance experience that uses VR to create instant group choreographies through the participation of its audience.

Taiwanese theatre and film director Chou Tung-Yen earned his stripes for his cross-border approach, his inventive use of new media, and the unexpected angles he takes on his subjects. This time he wants to take a step back from what happens inside the VR goggle, and wonders about the real physical repercussions outside of it. The result is Free UR Head, a tool for instant VR-conducted group choreographies.

Symbiosis

Symbiosis is a performative, multiuser, and multisensory VR installation in which the human body will be redesigned. It allows every participant to embody a post-human or even nonhuman reality: a completely symbiotic human-animal or human-technologic relationship. Dutch experience design collective POLYMORF investigates in a speculative way how a more symbiotic exchange of genetic, cultural, and technological traits between people and other present or future living entities can increase or change the agency of all.

Filmore!

Are our memories as fictional and absurd as the cartoons we watched before school?

Told across platforms exploring the complexities of youth, school, and nostalgia. Memories come rushing back in this experience that invites you to become an active participant.

School Safety Patrol Officer Maximus C. Filmore leads us on a scavenger hunt, unlocking and uncovering forgotten memories as you re-visit a past that may never have existed. What is the real story? You can investigate at the exhibition and come together to decide at the live gig.

Strange Tales 聊斋

When wind and snow fill the sky and the fire has grown cold, relight the coals, warm the wine, and turn up the wick of the lamp. We enter these tales in the shadows of the night but hopefully emerge into daylight.

Written in China centuries ago, Pu Songling’s Strange Tales are now adapted for the stage by the acclaimed immersive theatre company Grid Iron in co-production with the Traverse Theatre.
