After three sold-out performances at Amsterdam’s Eye Film Museum, Future of StoryTelling is proud to present the theatrical preview of Tupac Martir’s groundbreaking mixed reality performance piece, Cosmos Within Us, taking place at New York Live Arts.

A co-production between Satore Studio, a_Bahn, and Satore Tech, Cosmos Within Us turns the typical 1:1 virtual reality experience into a multisensory performance piece for an audience of 100 people. It features thirteen live performers, including five musicians, voiceover artists, live digital animations, two dancers, a conductor, and one very lucky “interactor.” The piece explores the intricate connection between memory and the senses, drawing us inside the mind of Aiken, a 60-year-old man who suffers from Alzheimer’s, as he struggles against a dwindling mind, against time, and against final loss. Cosmos Within Us was created to deliver a sense of hope and understanding to anyone affected by memory loss.

Cosmos Within Us was the hit of the virtual reality section of the 2019 Venice Film Festival and won the prestigious 2019 “Spirit of Raindance” Immersive Award at the Raindance Film Festival. It was also the winner of the Halo Award for Creative Accomplishment at VR Days 2019.

The performance will conclude with a Q&A with director Tupac Martir.
