Whist

Inspired by the work of Sigmund Freud, WHIST invites you on a Virtual Reality 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 and an art installation, in an environment that blurs the boundaries between consciousness and unconsciousness, reality and fiction, the physical and the virtual.

Your instincts will guide you through a narrative of surreal world, exploring the story from one of the 76 different perspectives.

"Boundary breaking. Future facing. A truly beautiful, compelling and important work" VICE, The Creators Project.

"Powerful. Refreshing. Exciting" Creative Review.

"I urge everyone who can to pop along to the Festival Theatre and give it a try. It's there until early August. There's a limit of twenty participants per show, so get those tickets booked and dive right in. You'll be intrigued, delighted, maybe even a little bit freaked... but I'm pretty sure you won't be bored, not for a moment" 5 Stars, Bouquets & Brickbats.

"WHIST is not only re-defining what a performance can be, but re-defining potentially the whole economics of performance art" 5 Stars, South Side.

"Fuses the hi-tech with the primal to create a series of bite-size narratives open to interpretation" 4 Stars, The Herald.
