Narrative Summary Upon visiting your family's home after your mom's passing, you are whisked into a forgotten memory from childhood. Each interaction is as meaningful as it is fascinating when you rediscover your past and delight in the simplicities of being a kid once again. However, something is not quite right. Perhaps it's the masked tension between your parents. Maybe you are hearing voices that seem to be only in your mind. It could even be that there is a monster hiding in your closet. After all, respite is only temporary when you are at the whim of your own mind. Welcome home, Alex. How it Works Welcome to Respite will be performed live with two actors playing multiple roles. Audiences may attend from anywhere in the world, as long as they have access to a VR headset! Through the magic of VR technology, participants will feel fully immersed into the 3D world. The production will provide support in getting them into the performance and troubleshooting any technical difficulties. The experience is guided, so participants can expect
Audience Role
We offer TWO experience types: PREMIUM- There is only ONE premium ticket available for each show time. This audience member will be the primary focus of the experience, playing the role of Alex. Participants in this category can expect a high level of interactivity. GENERAL- General audiences will serve as passive spectators of Alex's experience, playing the role of the alternate personalities within the personality system. While they will not interact with characters directly, they will be given unique opportunities to interact with and explore the space, seeing parts of the story that the premium ticket holder doesn't, and moments to help protect Alex. As this is completely virtual, there is no physical contact. However, there are moments of virtual hugging and head pats, particularly for the audience member playing Alex, who is the child of the two parents that are played by actors. There is an overall feeling of love and care from both parents during the show.
