All Kinds of Limbo
Synopsis
The VR experience, inspired by UK National Theatre director Rufus Norris’ production of SMALL ISLAND, uses immersive technologies and a life-size volumetrically captured performance to take audiences on a unique musical journey.
The ceremony of live performance and the craft of theatrical staging magnificently converge with immersive technologies and the musical direction of composer Raffy Bushman to bring a communal audience into a new kind of theatrical space. ALL KINDS OF LIMBO is a fantastical engagement of a musical performance starring Nubiya Brandon, who sings a musical narration of her life in limbo that spans the genres of reggae, grime, classical, and calypso.
Through a specially commissioned piece of music, vocalist Brandon, composer Bushman and the NuShape Orchestra take audiences through musical genres including reggae, grime, classical and calypso, reflecting the historic influence of West Indian and black culture on the UK music scene.
