What happens when Denver’s most daring artists are given just 48 hours to create immersive experiences? The Denver Immersive Invitational!

 

In partnership with After Hours Theater Co and The Immersive Experience Institute, and with support from the DCPA Off-Center and The Experientialists, this immersive competition challenged 8 Denver creators to conceptualize & perform original short-form works in just TWO days.

​

The result? Opia House and Two Cent Lion took home the Grand Prize and Audience Award for their production, "Call Waiting!"

The
Story

A short story brought to life under auspicious circumstances. A group of friends search for “Claire” who disappeared in the museum 13 years ago and has been sending clues to the group ever since. Our friends need the audience to complete 13 tasks to help Claire contact them from the other side.

The Process

This event took place at the historic El Jebel, generously provided by @npudenver , on November 10th, the final day of @denverartsweek
 
This collaborative 48-hour project was devised and performed
by @two.cent.lion & @opia_house_ artists, and the final product was “Call Waiting.”
 
We were given a theme (the number 13), a prop (a telephone), a space (a large room in the “museum of auspicious traditions” and 36 hours to create a 10 minute immersive experience for 12 audience members at a time.
