Dream On with grandMA3: Shakespeare becomes virtual UK – “Dream” is an ingenious and engaging multi-layered mix of movement, music, visuals, cool technology and narrative magic, an immersive digital performance fusing the drama of Shakespeare with the dynamic worlds of gaming and theatre in a ground-breaking production by the UK’s Royal Shakespeare Company in collaboration with Manchester International Festival, Marshmallow Laser Feast, and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Staged physically in the Studio at Portsmouth Guildhall and inspired by the classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the characters were played by six real actors utilising Vicon motion capture cameras, their avatars and effects appearing on screen – centring around the antics of cocky and capricious mischief-maker Puck. They run amok in the virtual Midsummer forest, hell-raising and spoofing four other sprites during a disruptive and chaotic journey!
