Terra Nova, performance by Crew*
May 18,19,20
Gouvernestraat 133, Rotterdam
http://deaf.nl/program/modules/crew-terra-nova

Terra Nova is a live art project combining a theatrical performance, a 
visual experience and an immersive adventure. A narrative guides 55 
visitors through a physical and mental experience. Central to this 
narrative are the functioning of the brain and the metaphor of explorer 
R. F. Scott's dramatic trip to the South Pole. Moving from theatrical 
scenes into immersive experiences, audience members will become part of 
a bizarre expedition taking place in their own brains. The concept is 
developed by multi-media artist Eric Joris.
