VR Theatre Experience: The Books of Jacob
This past weekend, La MaMa's Downstairs Theatre in New York hosted The Books of Jacob, an ambitious quantum, Kabbalistic, and virtual reality (VR) theatre experience. Directed by Krzysztof Garbaczewski and presented in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute NY, this innovative production unfolded simultaneously across seven countries—New York, Serbia, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Greece—bridging physical stages and digital spaces. Audiences could immerse themselves in-person, via livestream, or in VRChat, a virtual reality platform.
