Emperor 101 – Created by Leon Butler, Jo Mangan, Peter Power & Tom Swift

The Performance Corporation presents Emperor 101 in association with Once Off Productions and The Digital Hub - a unique experience that mixes VR with live performance.

As part of Dublin Theatre Festival, Emperor 101 takes place at The Digital Hub from October 4th – October 10th. Online booking for this event opens at 12:00 on 24 Aug 2021. Book your tickets here.

In the blink of an eye, a family tragedy turns the world upside down. As they pick themselves up again, the survivors try to rebuild the story of their lives through faith, fear and conspiracy. There is no reality, only narrative.

Using Virtual Reality headsets, the audience is immersed in an alternate digital world that reflects the mind of a conspiracy theorist. With live performance and extraordinary visuals, the play riffs on influences from ancient mythology to Alice in Wonderland – and asks if rejection of the ‘mainstream’ is a product of fear, or the ultimate act of self-empowerment in a complex world?

The Dublin Theatre Festival runs from 30 Sept – 17 Oct. The festival programme incorporates theatre, music, dance and family events, as well as artist talks, public discussions and artist development programmes, with performances taking place in venues and locations across the city and the greater Dublin area.
