The Foundling
A rich immersive theatre experience delivered to audiences in a brown paper parcel.
Part fable, part moment in history, The Foundling is an immersive, table-top theatre experience delivered directly to your door in a paper package. Fusing augmented reality (AR), AI, physical objects, scent and binaural sound, this gothic tale comes spilling out into your home.
The experience consists of four distinct chapters designed to extend the experience of a story through both the virtual and the physical. With each chapter, the audience receives a parcel containing a physical object from the story. They are invited to construct the object and place it in a specific position on a cloth map. One by one as these objects come into focus they trigger the next chapter of AR storytelling.
The Foundling expands theatre directly into people’s homes, creating an intimate, solo experience of an epic narrative.
This project is in development with leading immersive theatre company Raucous. We recently tested the latest iteration at Play Lab in Skövde, Sweden. Watch an interview with Jack and Sharon in the LudoKonst film below.
