The Only Animal has a mission to create theatre that has a deep connection with place, the environment is often the inspiration for many of their theatre experiences and that is exactly the case for their latest The Only Animal presentation, 2nd Story: Blood Alley.
Launching September 27th and 28th, the outdoor setting allows guests to experience theatre in augmented reality. Using the 2nd Story mobile app, the experience maps the personal stories and history of Blood Alley. The brick lined lane was chosen as a space rich in history, having seen so many changes since the founding of Vancouver. Stories were collected, then adapted to theatre plays that were recorded and turned into the digital surprises that come alive when patrons hold the 2nd Story app up to the appropriate location.
The 2nd Story: Blood Alley app is available to download on the iTunes or Google Play stores. During the launch event, September 27-28, loaner mobile devices will also be available for those without their own. The experience lasts approximately 30 minutes, and content will be available as a self-guided tour until October 31st.
