What is your show about?
The Virtual Reality Cinema hosts Australia’s new wave of VR content creators over the three weeks of the Fringe Festival presenting 16 original, never before seen VR pieces spanning four categories: music, short film, documentary and group VR.
What sets your show apart from others at Fringe?
This event gives an exciting opportunity to experience Australia’s new wave of VR content creators, exploring the frontiers of this innovative medium. The Virtual Reality Festival offers a group synchronised and intimate cinematic experience like no other, for up to 12 participants at a time.
How will your show involve audiences?
A member sits down comfortably in a spinning chair, puts a lightweight VR headset on and starts a journey into a new 3D group-VR and 360 degree digital dimension. Virtual reality is an endless space in which you can fully immerse and find new opportunities. This innovative entertainment lets you experience incredible emotions, moving you to a completely new world.
How does your show challenge audience members?
The onslaught of new wave VR film creators will expand member’s horizons, heighten their senses, ignite their imagination and challenge every convention of film, theatre and music videos. We have curated an eclectic group of talented new wave artists who will showcase their exciting works of virtual reality, and inspire you to play wild and live big.
What should a punter expect from your show?
To share an acoustic studio session with a rising music star Didirri, step into the visionary and geometrical mind of an architect, get up close and personal with our city’s leading street artist Adnate. To lose yourself on Easter Island, play a swashbuckling seafarer on board an 1800s tall ship, see the imaginations of Australia’s youngest VR filmmaker, dare yourself on an Alabama ghost train ride, and drop into arguably the most psychedelic VR music video you will ever see with Usurper of Modern Medicine.
