The Experience
INDUSTRIA: a new form of sea borne interactive art & performance experience playfully reimagining life in the shipyard at the time of the industrial revolution.
Industria combines elements of immersive performance, interactive art, and historical reimaging to create a multisensory world building experience that is part interactive gallery and part total theatre. With a storyline rooted in the Industrial Revolution and inspired by the novel Hard Times, Industria takes into account the history of Refshaleøen as an industrial area. Industria is a blend of real world and fiction, character and spectator, as well as past and present.
Our experience takes place aboard a 900 m2 barge known as Illutron. Performances and installations can be found throughout the over 900 square meters of the barge which includes four levels, a vibrational sound room, a greenhouse dome, attached boats and platforms, and interior spaces from cabins to the large hull with bar area. Among other delights, installations will include: fire installations over the water, underwater lights, metalwork sculptures, pulse jet engine instruments, and a tesla coil instrument.
An incredible team of over 15 local and international artists-performers to present INDUSTRIA — an immersive arts experience taking place aboard the four storey barge ILLUTRON.
The show runs in September for three weeks with dates including:
9/9 - 13/9
16/9 - 20/9
23/9 - 27/9
With the purchase of a ticket for each specific time slot and date, visitors explore the multi talented performances and installation artworks aboard the ship following their curiosity for up to three hours.
The experience follows corona guidelines and have taken measures to incorporate safe practices, sanitization, and masks into the world building experience as well as keeping track of the number of participants who can safely participate via controlled ticketing.
