+NAZVR [Building a Future Archive]

A Multi-Sensory Live Performance incorporating VR

that weaves a distant future in which users access the excavated home of a virtual dweller-in-the-hill in search of personalised Evil Eye treatments. Drawing on game mechanics and interactive storytelling, Nazar fully immerses audiences through visuals, sound, smell, taste and touch – temporarily transforming the performance stage in a ritualistic act of soft resistance that seeks to restore the body, collective memory and intangible heritage.
