We are comforted by facts, by the familiarity of things we know to be “true.” The sun rises in the east. There are twenty-four hours in a day. I exist. These truisms simplify our lives, enable us to get through the process of living. We are not afraid to leap into the air, because we know we will land on the ground. The Just for You Trilogy explores the possibilities that exist beyond these everyday patterns, that blur the lines between dream and reality.

Combining Riverbed’s three award-winning 360VR films (All That Remains, Over the Rainbow, and A Simple Silence) into a single experience, the Just for You Trilogy immerses the audience in a surreal meditation on memory, death, and desire.

When Jurassic Park was released in 1993, resurrecting dinosaurs seemed like something only possible in Hollywood films. Now, three decades later, fiction has become reality, as the wealthy can clone their deceased pets and “bring them back to life.” We are living in an age in which death no longer means the end.

Blur is a mixed-reality theater experience that explores this liminal state between life and death, fact and fiction. The production immerses the ten audience members in a surreal world that integrates a live performer with the digital wonders of virtual reality. The audience journeys through an unfolding landscape, encountering firsthand the magical possibilities and terrifying consequences of these scientific advancements. The future is present. Step into the unknown.

Blur is co-directed by Craig Quintero and Phoebe Greenberg and is an international co-production between Riverbed Theatre, PHI Studio, and Onassis Culture.
