Tremens

Tremens is an immersive experience at the intersection of theater and embodied virtual reality. Through fluid, interactive architectures and shifting spatial constellations, the audience encounters avatars and digital illusions that blur the line between reality and virtuality.

Emerging from CREW’s research into extending performers into the virtual, Anxious Arrivals picks up from Delirious Departures to reacquaint ourselves with space and the other. CREW draws an analogy between the liberation of space after quarantine with free movement in the virtual.

Hamlet's Playground

Corona put the performing arts on hold. Venues closed and switched to live streaming, cancelling the immediate connection between performer and audience.
