Our live VR project ‘Mary Shelley Lives Here’, premiered in November 2024 at the PXR conference in Canada.

Mary Shelley wrote ‘Frankenstein’ but also ‘The Last Man’, a dystopia about a world that is dying due to climate change and war, and people that are too preoccupied with their own personal growth and happiness to change the tides. The book was inspired on her own life, dealing with losing friends and family and trying to find a new way to live, alone.

Live VR experience ‘Mary Shelley Lives Here’ now shows Mary as ‘The Last Man’ of her own book, living alone on a small island, in harmony with nature. Her visitors (the audience) get to personify the people in her life and re-enact her story with her. A live immersive experience about coming to terms with death, losing your tight group of friends and starting a new life as an individual.

This live experience has been written and directed by Jedidjah Julia Noomen, with worldbuilding by Max Beffert. The show takes place in VRChat and is playable with Quest headsets as well as PCVR. We are thankful to the curators of PXR that they selected us for their conference, and also want to thank the team from Frerryman Collective for sharing their knowledge about live VR acting.

Keep an eye on our website, Instagram and mailing list for announcements of new performances in 2025.
