AI is not your friend

In a gripping techno-mystery thriller, an employee at A-ID Technologies uncovers a major security breach that triggers a series of events involving corporate cover-ups and a discredited detective’s quest for redemption. This sets off a chain of events that leads to a tension-filled surprise birthday party as the conspiracy deepens. An unfortunate audience is caught directly in the crossfire as they navigate a tangled web of deceit and corruption to uncover the truth, whilst raising questions about trust, manipulation, and the cost of privacy. Step into a world where nothing is as it seems.

About The Production

The Mission

Our aim was to create an ultra-intimate setting, accommodating approximately 12 participants per show in a unique Madrid location. This intimacy ensures that each attendee feels like a vital part of the story, blurring the lines between performer and spectator. By engaging multiple senses and encouraging active participation, we strive to create moments of genuine emotional connection.

THe Journey

The original pilot was tested just over 7 years as a 3D audio experience, but it was only through Micro Immersive’s collaboration with The Madrid Players that we were able to convert it into a full-scale immersive experience. It has allowed us to push the boundaries of traditional theatre, creating an environment where the audience becomes an integral part of the narrative.

Inspired by the works of Christopher Nolan and stories of Harlan Coben, I sought to craft a story that challenges perceptions and invites participants into a world of suspense and intrigue. The dynamic and engaging narrative is designed to keep you guessing, with twists and turns that unfold in unexpected ways.

The Result

We performed 11 shows across 2 weekends to over 130 people mixing in elements that covered the 5 senses and getting participants to feel a part of the story. The response to “Happy Birthday” has been overwhelmingly positive, currently at a 4.8⭐️ rating. Attendees have praised the seamless integration of narrative and environment, noting how the experience was innovating and a surprise, especially for those who had never experience immersive theatre.
