Dreambox is an immersive piece where virtual reality meets performing arts, where there is no difference between memory and fiction. Developed at Eskus - Performance Center in Suvilahti, Helsinki, Finland and premiere at Inkonst, Malmö 18 December 2015

 

In Dreambox individual dreams are made into collective memories. The piece consists of several rooms where you as an audience participant gets guided through an exhibition of dreams and memories. Together we investigate the embodiment of situations that have happened or that we want to happen, with the aid of virtual reality headsets. Perspectives shift between exhibition, game, and theater by mixing participating with observing, the intimate with the public, the private with the political and the most fantastic and the strange. 

 

The Dreambox is a part of Project Portal: a project that combines performing arts with virtual reality gear.
