Symbiosis/Dysbiosis

Symbiosis/\Dysbiosis is a digital/live hybrid work, which live streams a performance in a metaverse, peopled by characters in the room and located in other parts of the world. It is a psychedelic immersive theatre adventure. This shared experience serves as a powerful reminder that our future depends on our ability to recognise 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.
