C’ERA UNA VOLTA

“[…] the fantastic “C’era una volta”, by ONDADURTO TEATRO, will surely end up with a major international tour. “C’era una volta” reinterprets the most famous fairy tales with a dash of satire. The spectacular, vibrant and colourful staging left the audience at Saint Eloi park amazed and excited.”
La Vanguardia – Spain

Much more than a show about princesses and heroes.
The fairy-tale land of our imagination, so sweet and lovely in our memories, will be transformed, and the lines between Good and Evil will become deeply ephemeral.
Stories and legends that come from the tradition of great authors, from the Brothers Grimm to Lewis Carroll, and Johann Karl August Musäus to Hans Christian Andersen, are reinterpreted in a noir atmosphere with a “bittersweet” air.
Is it possible that Little Red Riding Hood has a dark side? And why can’t a Witch or a Stepmother have a good, sweet-natured or even melancholic side?
C’ERA UNA VOLTA is a colourful and enchanting revue, a multidisciplinary work where fascinating moving objects, water effects and the fusion of technological influences work together to create an evocative and expansive experience for the audience.
It is a contemporary work that shakes up old traditions by stripping away the “sugar-coated” essence of a fairy-tale.

– VR VERSION –

C’ERA UNA VOLTA / a VR experience: a 360-degree 3D VR immersive experience: a surprising project in which the spectators find themselves unexpectedly centre stage, totally surrounded by the action, in an experience featuring large, moving machinery and spectacular effects, creating a VR show with great emotional impact.
Through the use of virtual reality, the role of the spectator, the actor and the very nature of the show itself undergo a radical transformation. The key feature of this transformation is the fact that the spectator’s body is brought into play. The experience exploits the human body’s primordial characteristics as a tool used to explore and understand the world and converts these features to aid in the creation of a network of intellectual and emotional relationships with images, sounds, vibrations and smells, which spectators will perceive all around them in a completely immersive, multi-sensory experience.
Come with us, directly into the heart of the performative experience, into a universe that is sure to be eye-opening.
