Hyper-reality strikes London again: this time with a horror experience at the Vault Festival from production company The Tom Sawyer Effect, who have produced VR and transmedia experiences for major brands.
You have the secret that could bring down the Foundation.
They have The Pendulum, a device that will reveal your darkest fears.
Can you resist & survive The Pit?
One of the first hyper-reality experiences to have been put on in the UK, The Pendulum will blend virtual reality, physical sensations and immersive theatre into an unnerving interactive horror for one person.
The Pendulum is loosely based on the original Edgar Allen Poe story but really inspired by Eighties visceral & psychological horror movies from Kronenberg to Hellraiser, along with the immersive potential of VR.
This site-specific piece has different endings depending on how you fare once you are inside and, of course, if you make it to the end…
Please note that this performance uses VR and may not be suitable for people with epilepsy. For further information, please get in touch with help@vaultfestival.com
