EMPEROR 101
Created by Leon Butler, Jo Mangan, Peter Power & Tom Swift
in association with Once Off Productions and The Digital Hub
In the blink of an eye, a family tragedy turns the world upside down. As they pick themselves up again, the survivors try to rebuild the story of their lives through faith, fear and conspiracy.
Using Virtual Reality headsets, the audience is immersed in an alternate digital world that reflects the mind of a conspiracy theorist.
With live performance and extraordinary visuals, the play riffs on influences from ancient mythology to Alice in Wonderland - and asks if rejection of the ‘mainstream’ is a product of fear, or the ultimate act of self-empowerment in a complex world?
Supported by the Arts Council, The Digital Hub, Kildare Council, and Dublin City Council.
Audience members will use a VR Headset as part of the live performance. This performance is for an audience of one.
