Life is the Game

Thursday 29 October – Monday 15 February

MAAT, Lisbon

Life is The Game is an immersive Extended Reality (XR) experience (using a mixed reality headset) that takes the participant on a timeless journey through the rite of passage between death and rebirth. This drift explores universal themes of consciousness, identity, memory and transcendence, proposing interaction with soundscapes and spaces that challenge the perception of the self in its relation to collective life. Spaces and landscapes form a device for critical reflection on shared reality, proposing new modes of temporal and spatial enjoyment belonging to the imagination, conceptually challenging what we take as the norm in our daily lives.

Paulo Furtado, known as The Legendary Tigerman, is responsible for the direction and sound composition of this project. The technological development is by Yolanda Correia (a software engineer who has developed projects with emerging technologies for entities such as Meta, Google, Samsung and Ydreams; in the field of spatial computing and immersive reality, her participation in the title Stranger Things VR stands out). The script and creative concept are by Eduardo Brito (director, screenwriter and photographer. In cinema he wrote and directed A Sibila and several short films such as Penúmbria and Declive).

Wednesday to Monday, from 10h to 19h.
