Cascando

Cascando by Pan Pan Theatre is an outdoor experience, transforming Samuel Beckett's 1963 radio play into a physical journey. Directed by Gavin Quinn, the production leads the audience on a rhythmic ensemble experience, wearing black cloaks and headphones and becoming part of the spectacle.

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.

Floating with Spirits

Two little sisters prepare for the Day of the Dead in the mystic mountains of Mexico, remembering the stories their shaman granny used to tell. A portal opens as the Mazatec community celebrates and we enter the interactive universe of their ancestors and the spirits of nature, each keeping a secret world to be unveiled.  

Written and directed by Juanita Onzaga.

Golem

A contemporary dance performance radicalizing the human body in the virtual world. This international and interdisciplinary research project explores the dancing body through technologies including motion-capture technology, VR, and digital avatars to wield a narrative between man and machine.

Planet Xerilia

Planet Xerilia is an audio-driven, narrative, room-scale Virtual Reality (VR) experience for the Meta Quest 2. XR Stories and the University of York developed it to investigate new ways of storytelling using 3D binaural audio, interactivity, and VR.

Monoliths

Three women. Three voices. The northern landscape.

Three stories open the world of the English northern landscape in virtual reality, what it means to come from it, live in it and belong to it.

Monoliths interweaves radiant renderings of three northern UK environments – a moor, a city and a coast – with sweeping soundscapes and poetic monologues by Hannah Davies, Carmen Marcus and Asma Elbadawi. At once imaginative and immersive, this XR experience is an arresting testament to the inextricable link between person and place.
