A Gamified Interactive Performance with DigiBC & LBN Media

DigiBC has tasked us with developing an interactive and immersive perfomance experience unlike anything that has been created before. The goal is to explore how gameplay can be woven into live performance, enabling audience members to influence the narrative in real time.

Traditional live performances offer limited opportunities for audience agency, often restricting participation to predefined moments or passive observation. This project challenges that model by designing a performance where audience choices actively shape the outcome of the story. Using a blend of emerging tech, interactive installations, and live performers, the team aims to create a responsive environment where gameplay drives the narrative forward.

The resulting proof of concept will demonstrate how digital and physical elements can coexist in a cohesive interactive storytelling format. Early development focuses on prototyping game mechanics, defining the look and feel of the experience, and conceptualizing key narrative and visual elements which play a central role in the unfolding performance.

This project lays the groundwork for a new genre of participatory performance, where audiences don’t just watch a story - they play it.
