Tickets now on sale for Invisible Treasure an Interactive Digital Playspace

Tickets are now on sale for Invisible Treasure, the project on which Creativeworks London Creative Entrepreneur-in-Residence Dan Barnard has been collaborating with Dr Marco Gillies and Nicky Donald from Goldsmiths, University of London.

Invisible Treasure is an interactive digital playspace, an electrifying exploration of human relationships, power structures and individual agency, where your actions can change everything.

No actors. No plot. But there’s you. And maybe that’s enough.

When will you follow the rules and when will you break them? What risks are you prepared to take? How will you know if you’re seeing the whole picture? Using cutting-edge sensor, sound and projection technologies, Invisible Treasure is a journey through seven levels of unreality in a world that feels like the inside of a computer game but yet seems strangely similar to our own.

Time to join the dots.

Invisible Treasure runs from the 27th October to the 14th November at Ovalhouse theatre. For more information and to book tickets go to http://www.ovalhouse.com/whatson/detail/invisible-treasure-by-fanshen

Invisible Treasure is a groundbreaking collaboration between theatre company fanSHEN, digital technologists Hellicar&Lewis and the Department of Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London resulting in an entirely new type of theatre. The team from Goldsmiths will gather and analyse data about how participants interact with the piece, the effect it has on them and whether this varies with participants of different ages.
