Reinventing theater

and building a 360° experience around it

The challenge of the project was to bring a breath of fresh air to theater, we achieved this by building an interactive experience around the plot of a play. The audience had several instances of interaction with the story before, during and after the play.

A.L.I.C.E - The Interactive Play

The central piece of the project was the interactive detective story “ALICE”, a play in which audiences had the chance to decide the outcome of the story by voting on a live poll. The results of the poll were show on the stage in real time and the final result communicated to the actors using an earpiece. A pilot of the play and interactive concept in front of a live audience can be seen below.

Alice Mini: A mobile app

A key part of our concept was the mobile app “ALICE Mini” a web-app that served as the central point of interaction with the audiences, here users could learn about the story and characters, participate in a give-away called “The Stalker App”, an idea in line with a sub-plot of the story, and most importantly, vote on the live-poll during the play. ALICE Mini is still functional and can be seen here.

ALICE VR Experience

Certain sub-plots of the story of the play could only be seen on the VR Game “Alice VR: The White Rabbit”, a mini virtual-reality game built on Unity that followed the clues left by a white rabbit on the small town where the main story took place. A web-version of the game, playable only on desktop or laptop computers, can be seen here.

Alice Stream: Live Theater

Interaction with the play was also possible from outside the theater, via a live-streaming of multiple 360° cameras placed around the stage. External audiences could also vote using the Alice Mini web-app. This expanded the potential reach of the play to audiences much larger than the capacity of the theater.
