Terra Nova is a live art project combining a theatrical performance, a visual experience and an immersive adventure. A narrative guides 55 visitors through a physical and mental experience. Central to this narrative are the functioning of the brain and the metaphor of explorer R. F. Scott’s dramatic trip to the South Pole. Moving from theatrical scenes into immersive experiences, audience members will become part of a bizarre expedition taking place in their own brains. The concept is developed by multi-media artist Eric Joris.
