SYMBIOSIS/\DYSBIOSIS
Everything Is Connected
Symbiosis/\Dysbiosis invites you to slow down and immerse yourself in an interconnected, psychedelic immersive theatre adventure. This shared experience serves as a powerful reminder that our future depends on our ability to recognize and connect with the more-than-human world. Audience members and fungal Mycelium can interact within a virtual old-growth forest as the living Mycelium responds to players by triggering haptics, visual effects, and sound. Live actors embody forest guides, who request help and guide the players to locate the enigmatic Golden Spore towards entering the Mycelium Network to find the Mycelia Entity.
EXPERIENCE SYMBIOSIS/\DYSBIOSIS IN RESONITE
To access the adventure, you'll need a VR-ready PC and one of these compatible headsets: Valve Index, Meta Quest 3 / 3s / 2 / Pro + Link, HTC Vive, or Bigscreen Beyond.
Please download Resonite on Steam and create an account ahead of time, either here or in game. For the most optimal performance we recommend the use of an ethernet cable for internet connection.
If you own a Muse EEG Device, please contact Nanotopia, the creators, on this Discord server at least three days before the show you’ve booked. The creators will help you integrate your EEG data into Resonite for the experience. A Muse device is not necessary to enjoy this experience though!
The experience puts you, the audience, at the centre, promising a highly interactive and groundbreaking live show you can enjoy from home—no festival pass required. By purchasing a ticket, you'll not only gain a unique shared experience but also directly support the actors and stage managers as 100% of your purchase goes to them. Spots are limited to just 8 players per show.
