Extended Theater: Ousman

Immersive XR Narrative Experience

About the Project

Extended Theater: Ousman is a groundbreaking immersive XR experience that tells the powerful and poignant story of a 13-year-old boy's journey from Ghana to Spain. This multiplayer theatrical experience combines VR and AR elements to create an emotionally resonant narrative that expands and transforms around players in real-time.

The project blends theatrical storytelling with cutting-edge XR technology, taking audiences through the harsh realities of the journey—deserts, systemic oppression, human trafficking, maritime peril, and police brutality—all while maintaining an intimate, human-centered perspective. The experience is designed for multiple participants to enjoy together in a cinema-like setting, fostering collective emotional engagement and social awareness.
