TOMO VR: by Atamira Dance Company
Sit down, relax, and be immersed within an extraordinary performance by Aotearoa/New Zealand’s leading Māori contemporary dance company. TOMO VR is a unique and moving Virtual Reality experience capturing the dream space with a haunting tale of life and death. Viewers will find themselves in a cavern of endless time, a world within a world, watching twin spirits – one travelling to the world of the living, the other transcending to the embracing arms of Hine Nui Te Pō, the Māori goddess of death.
This combined VR session includes takila milaythina-ti (25 minutes) and TOMO VR (8 minutes), with a short interval and time for reflection.
Tickets $25 + booking fee (includes both VR performances) – book here.
