A unique opportunity to discover “Non-Player Character”

From Brendan Bradley’s pioneering work in virtual reality storytelling comes a 🅻🅸🆅🅴 interactive musical inside your web browser where you can control the adventure. When a video game hero dies , the audience must guide a Non – Player Character (performed by a live, singing actor) through five virtual worlds of their grief, either as “Participants” in VR headset on stage or “Spectators” watching on the big screen.

Live performance on March 17 is part of the USITT (United States Institute for Theatre Technology) show.
