Harnessing state-of-the-art interactive technology, the Non-Player Character play blurs the lines between performers and spectators. The new album allows you to relive your favorite moments from the show as well as enjoy some exclusive extra content.
The piece tells the tale of a character from a fictional video game who witnesses the death of the hero. To help navigate his grief, he enlists your help to reprogram him. Brendan demonstrates his impressive range by playing several different characters, drawing on multiple genres and styles to create a pioneering and memorable virtual reality theater experience.
The show was first prototyped at The Mugar Omni Theater in Boston, MA in 2021 before being developed further via various workshopping events at virtual festivals. While the global pandemic saw nationwide shutdowns of theaters and entertainment venues, Brendan used the time to explore the possibilities of interactive VR in a performance context.
The album features all of the songs from 'Non-Player Character' and also gives you the chance to attend pop-up performances for the play. Brendan has also created his own virtual reality theater platform which lets anyone onboard their own show. The platform features a virtual box office, allowing creatives to reach a new audience for their performance endeavors. Have you got an idea for a production but haven't been sure how to launch it?
