Anti-Gone

Director:

Institute History

  • 2020 Sundance Film Festival

Description

Part theatre, part Twitch.tv, this groundbreaking play is a feature-length livestream game telecast, whose central characters, Spyda and Lynxa, are avatars powered by the VR headset and mocap suit worn by stage actors who game the sprawling virtual world fresh with each performance. Set in a post–climate change world raging with late-capitalist rebellion and excess, Anti-Gone is a quest for happiness in the sunken city, where the characters shop, score drugs, and hotbox cinema.

This exhibition is housed at the Biodigital Theatre at New Frontier Central.

Sun. 1/26–Tue. 1/28, Thu. 1/30: 5:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m.

— S.F.
