- Iceland / UK
A fantastical journey into the Icelandic highlands and beyond with two escaped convicts and their driver.
Performed by circus artists during lockdown, recorded using full-body motion capture.
This piece for realtime VR is an spin-off project from Huldufugl and Hikapee's (equally ambitious) stage show, The Hidden People, after that project was delayed by a year due to the pandemic.
We've been collaborating with UK aerial circus company Hikapee since 2018 on a large-scale stage production - but when it became apparent that we were going to have to pause work on it for at least a year, we came up with the idea of producing an animated VR piece using the same performers, set in the same world, but with a brand new storyline.
Work in progress! The piece will be available on release for Oculus Quest and other major VR platforms.
