Industria

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.

About Immersive Experience

Wikipedia — Immersive theatre differentiates itself from traditional theater by removing the stage and immersing audiences within the performance itself. Often, this is accomplished by using a specific location (site-specific), allowing audiences to converse with the actors and interact with their surroundings (interactive), thereby breaking the fourth wall.

We are strongly inspired and influenced by immersive and interactive theatre giants from:

PunchDrunk Theatre, UK
Meow Wolf, US
And the newly formed (Dec 2019) and wildly successful Dream World, Berlin

INDUSTRIA develops Copenhagen’s interactive scene work with a distinctly Danish flavour.

Some of our artists and collaborators on Industria having worked with MeowWolf, DreamWorld, and Blast Theory UK and countless more over the past 6 years.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants

Illutron — The Ship

Illutron is a collaborative interactive arts studio established in 2007.

Illutron is located in Refshaleøen close to the Reffen street food market and Copenhagen Contemporary. Illutron creates large-scale interactive art, intriguing explorations into the realm where art and technology meet, experiments in the water and is a place for individual or collaborative work.
