‘Rider Spoke’ by Blast Theory

Free event in the 2008 Brighton Festival (UK) from May 8 – 11, 2008

Bookings essential (be quick!)

Renowned for its maverick mix of location-based gaming and interactive performance, Brighton’s BAFTA-nominated Blast Theory excels in off-kilter, off-road theatre! Now, Rider Spoke, developed with the Mixed Reality Lab, is Blast Theory’s latest portable performance, inviting you to literally saddle up and hit the streets.

Use our bikes or bring your own and you’ll be fitted out with a helmet, a handlebar-mounted video consul and headset. Then you’re off! Prompted by the technology, each player embarks on a personal journey, seeking out the city’s secret spaces and hidden sanctuaries, answering questions, recording memories or simply eavesdropping on your fellow players.

Part theatre, part confessional, part interactive installation, Rider Spoke blurs the boundaries between audience and performer, putting your encounters and your experiences at the heart of a unique and intimate drama…
