Overview
Blur— an extended reality production that dissolves the boundaries between live performance and the virtual world.
Experienced in intimate groups, the actor-led experience creates an unusually personal encounter where every sound, movement and shift in perception becomes part of the narrative. As participants transition between physical sets and virtual worlds, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish what is real, what is artificial, and where one reality ends and another begins.
*The production addresses mature themes and is recommended for audiences ages 16 and older.

About the Experience
Co-produced by PHI Studio, Riverbed Theatre Ltd. and Onassis Culture, BLUR places participants inside a surreal, continuously transforming dreamscape shaped by live actors, motion capture, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence and sensory elements. Unlike conventional theater, audiences do not simply watch the story unfold—they enter it, moving through physical and digital environments where performers and computer-generated entities appear to inhabit the same space.
Written and directed by Craig Quintero and Phoebe Greenberg, BLUR explores a new myth for the modern age—one shaped by scientific developments that are changing how society understands life and death. Set in a near future where cloning, genetic engineering and de-extinction have become reality, the production asks audiences to consider a fundamental ethical question: What if we could defeat death?
Inspired by the Theatre of the Absurd, BLUR is populated by hybrid creatures, AI entities and figures such as Dolly, a human-animal hybrid whose presence embodies both the possibilities and moral ambiguities of scientific intervention. Within this strange yet emotionally familiar world, participants confront questions surrounding grief, identity, memory and humanity’s desire to bring back what has been lost.
*Please note that the experience can only accommodate one wheelchair user at a time, along with their companion (who must also have a ticket). The experience is also available with closed-captioning available upon request.
