After receiving a sold-out world premiere in the summer of 2021, The Magic Hour 360 will make its VR debut as part of LivePerformance360.
Guided through scenes by rich audio, video, lighting and stagecraft, The Magic Hour 360 explores the routes of the imagination; the physical world meets the digital world, blending art, design, music and text in a multi-layer mixed-media feast for the senses. The destination of this curious and magical journey is a reflection on an unprecedented year – and a step forward into a brave new world.
“A lovesong for the possibility of change in even the most static of situations” – Kim Collier, Director
There will also be an accompanying e-book script available of The Magic Hour at The Fishbowl.
Based on the original production of The Magic Hour produced by ECT, Innovation Lighting and Presentation House Theatre in 2021.

Forget about Trip Advisor, trash your Trivago, and dive into this enchanted, uncharted Hospitality Zone in 360 degrees. In an airport hotel on the shores of the River Styx, Pochsy mourns the loss of her job at Mercury Packers, navigates her struggles being “vegan-fluid,” and tries to conceal an unnatural pre-occupation with bubble wrap. Should she check her messages for the fiftieth time? Or solve the perennial question: why does a tiny can of Pringles cost $11.95? Come sit with Pochsy on the edge of her king-sized bed, on the precipice of existence, in this meditation on globalization and the future of the human soul. (Pochsy is an anagram for “Psycho” and rhymes with “The Pox.”)
6 persons max per time slot.
