WHIST  

WORLD PREMIERE | 12-13 APRIL 2017 | THE GULBENKIAN, CANTERBURY (UK)

Inspired by the work of Sigmund Freud and Japanese artist Shuji Terayama, WHIST invites you on a journey into the unconscious mind, through the dreams, fears and desires of a fictional family.

This one-hour experience merges Physical Theatre, interactive Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies with an art installation, bringing the audience into an environment that blurs the boundaries between consciousness and the unconscious, reality and fiction, the physical and the virtual.
