Out-of-this-world experience at McClelland McCLELLAND Sculpture Park, Langwarrin, will host an immersive theatre experience 29 August–7 September, with viewers invited to don headphones and engage with the sculpture-strewn landscape in a novel way. They’ll be taking part in Orbit, the latest sitespecific immersive theatre piece by Wonthaggi artist Nina Barry-Macaulay. It is cutting edge in its use of innovative technology combined with traditional character narratives to create a performance tailored for the park. “McClelland is pleased to host this exciting program that will transform the way in which visitors interact with the sculpture park,” Lyn Johnson, deputy director, said. “The artist explains how the use of immersive theatre techniques in this enchanting and eerie setting creates an awesome audience experience, and is perfect for the futuristic tale of Orbit.” In the experience, the narrator transports the audience to the year 2087 – a time when a lethal biological plague has forced the people of Earth into orbit. Guided by the narrator’s instructions, the audience travels through the park, meeting each scene as it unfolds to the intimate, customised soundtrack. By setting this piece in the future, the audience is invited into a sci-fi dreamland. In addition to the thrilling story, the audience is delivered an otherworldly perspective and may find itself considering what it would be like to lose planet Earth. Barry-Macaulay produces cutting edge innovative works that delve deeply into current issues and philosophies. In this way she aspires to making theatre that is not only entertaining, but also memorable and provocative. Influenced largely by her exposure to contemporary international theatre while living overseas, and her consolidated academic studies in Dramaturgy, she is passionate about creating theatre of its time, for its time. Orbit by Nina Barry-Macaulay is on 29, 30 and 31 August and 5, 6 and 7 September at 5:30pm. The running time is about an hour. The experience is suitable for ages 14 and up.
