Gumball Dreams
A Virtual Reality Experience with Live Actors.
Ferryman Collective is offering a limited June run of their award-winning show Gumball Dreams. Narrative Summary: You have been called by an alien creature named Onyx to a mythical planet on which they are living out their final days. You, and two others, are asked to help them transition from this reality to the next. But before Onyx can lay infinite wisdom at your feet, the weight of your spirit must be assessed. If found ready, you shall embark upon the journey of a lifetime, skipping among the stars, floating above the spheres, and remembering who you really are. About Gumball Dreams: Winner of the 2022 SXSW Audience Award XR Experience Competition, this guided virtual reality theater experience had its international premiere at the prestigious 79th International Venice Film Festival and its Asia premier at the Kaohsiung Film Festival where it won the Grand Jury prize, before winning Best Immersive Performance at Raindance Immersive. Gumball Dreams was also awarded Best 2022 Experience, Creator of the Year and Best Live Experience by the online magazine and database XRMust. How it Works: Gumball Dreams is a guided virtual reality theatre experience designed for three audience members, performed with a live actor playing multiple roles. Audiences may attend from anywhere in the world, as long as they have access to a Quest 2 or PCVR. Through the magic of VR technology, participants will feel fully immersed into the 3D world. The production will provide support in getting attendees into the performance and troubleshooting any technical difficulties. Additional Info: To make the most out of this experience, audience members should have their microphone ON so that they may speak with the characters that they encounter. Please wear headphones during the performance to reduce feedback. To learn more about this show, please visit: www.ferrymancollective.com/
