Synopsis

There is an overweight man with deep-seated psychological issues and two chicken like creatures. They are having a surreal dinner party contained within a dingy room with a high ceiling. The wallpaper is dirty and there happens to be some kind of insect infestation. The food they eat is also dirty. They reside on the edge of a city and a large factory dominates the landscape. The weather isn't too good either.

The Baby Factory is Closed The Baby Factory is Closed

Director: Deepa Mann-Kler

Year: 2026

A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
