The Portstewart-based, site specific/immersive games and participatory community project provider professional theatre producer Big Telly Theatre Company, have partnered with The Commission for Victims and Survivors and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive to develop an arts and technology driven project The House. Developed by Katy Radford and Zoe Seaton to raise awareness of the legacy of The Troubles/Conflict using the arts and digital technology to represent the Commission’s research. All the quotations in the performance and exhibition are drawn from research conducted by or for the Commission for Victims and Survivors.
THE HOUSE, a curated installation and theatrical performance by Big Telly includes quotations and dialogue drawn from research carried out by and on behalf of the Commission and which uses the words of Victims and Survivors of the Northern Ireland Troubles/Conflict. The House (Virtual Reality), funded by Future Screens NI’s Narrative Futures funding stream, was developed to extend the site-specific nature of the experience and for a wider audience in other contexts. The original cast and crew were augmented by collaborators in a Virtual Reality team directed by Gavin Peden and included work by Circo Rum Ba Ba and RETìníZE.
