Lovelorn

Synopsis

After a tragic accident John begins an obsessive crusade to bring his comatose sister back to the waking world. In his sleep he walks the afterlife where she is trapped and soon John finds himself playing a game for her soul, a game that can’t be won, against the only opponent who can never be beaten, Death. His flat mate Kate struggles to deal with his increasingly irrational behaviour, as he spirals deeper into this dark world, convinced that he can rescue Lorna.

In the afterlife star-crossed lovers, Lorna and Dave search for one another to find the happiness they once knew in life. But with all odds against them the lovers realise that nothing is what it seems and that they are running out of time.

At the heart of this dark, parallel world Death taunts and seduces them with their deepest desires. With everything to play for, John will stop at nothing, even when he finds himself back at the site of the accident once more.

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.
