Experience the world’s first virtual reality community opera.

Ecology, nature and flight from danger fire up this new work developed with communities in Inis Meáin, Tallaght and rural Ireland.

Become Nalva as she and her people flee a land that has been ravaged by their short-sighted actions followed by Daol, the restless, unleashed spirit.

Put on your headset and journey through dangerous waters and new frontiers to find sanctuary. In this radical new approach to opera, we strive to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past – the scorch and burn approach to living in this world.

This project is a collaboration between participants from across Ireland, Virtual Reality Producers Virtual Reality Ireland and a professional creative team led by composer Finola Merivale, director Jo Mangan, librettist Jody O’Neill, Creative Production Studio Algorithm and Virtual Reality Ireland.

Funded by the Arts Council/An Chomhaírle Ealaíon, presented as part of TRACTION, funded by Horizon 2020. Supported by The Digital Hub, Official Digital Partner of Dublin Fringe Festival.
