The Wall
A metaphor for Europe's predicament in relation to the world, an invisible force will erode time and space.
The best German creative partner of Yan Pat To, director Thomas Krupa features an award-winning VR work.
Adapted from the novel of the same name, 'The Wall,' by Austrian author Marlen Haushofer.
Commissioned for production by Schauspiel Essen in 2022.
Hugo, Luise and her with a loyal dog Luchs head to a hunting lodge in the Alps. However, after Hugo and Luise go out to a tavern, they never return. She and the dog attempt to walk to the village for help, but they are stopped by a mysterious invisible wall. Even trying to return to the lodge proves futile. Time is frozen, and space becomes increasingly oppressive. Faced with such a survival dilemma, how will she respond?"
Audiences will wear VR devices throughout the experience. The 360-degree live-action filming will immerse everyone in a world of loneliness and oppression, allowing them to feel the darkest and most fearful moments.

Institute of Posthuman Art & Cutlure
In this brand-new project by Reframe Theatre, ‘Postwriters’ Gathering’ is a platform fusing online theatre and literature. Greenizmstory, Gaakyoung, West_wingm, Iphoneman, and Chingceciii would gather here instead of writing from home. They chat about literature, theatre, art and life. It is an art salon of 21st century. Starting from 9pm, June 14, 2023, ‘Postwriters’ Gathering’ will be shown once every two weeks.
At the same time, Reframe Theatre is adapting three novels: "A Haunted VR Conference," a horror VR theatre experience by Greenizmstory exploring the dark side of humans’ nature; "The Goddess," an immersive theatrical adaptation of iphoneman's best-selling novel experiencing love and solitude in different spaces; "Post Office of the Hell", a poignant adaptation of the famous work by West_wingm delving into the laughter and tears of life and death.
Please follow and stay tuned with our news.
