Dave Callan’s ‘77 Holiday Special
Dave is back. The dancers are back. The video screen is back. But they've all been given a 70s makeover.
This is a hilarious and nostalgic tribute to event television, the kind of wild live variety you don't see anymore, but with a knowing nod to the present. Forget 2022 and be transported to a simpler and happier time (we think it was, the memory plays tricks). World debut!

Eulogy
EULOGY is a communal experience in a shipping container, that uses 3D sound and speech recognition technology to immerse audiences into a dreamlike, labyrinthine hotel that is imagined in the darkness.
Audience members are transported through rooms and down corridors on an intense and exhilarating journey and a deeper exploration of the relative merits of an embodied human conscious experience versus one that only exists in the imagination.
