Project Detail

Worm

Synopsis

When a detective arrives at a young girl's family home in order to investigate her disappearance, it soon becomes obvious he has bitten off more than he can chew.

Worm takes us on a surreal journey into a dark world filled with ferrets, dead mackerels and toothpicks; a world where the grotesque meets the ridiculous.

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.
