REVEAL // 2018 - Collusion

REVEAL // 2018

An active reality adventure unfolding across King’s Lynn town centre

REVEAL was an interactive story and immersive experience – an unprecedented amalgam of live theatre performance, online episodes, an augmented reality game, and large-scale projections, which we coined “Active Reality”. It launched on 23 November 2018 and ran until 04 January 2019.


REVEAL, King's Lynn // Nov 2019

The project used the unique geography, history, and architecture of King’s Lynn as the setting and stage for a play about a Syrian refugee making her way through Norfolk. King’s Lynn also served as the backdrop for dynamic projections and as the site for an augmented reality treasure hunt, made possible using a unique browser-based smartphone technology.

To create this ambitious piece, Collusion harnessed the efforts and talents of actors, projection artists, designers, musicians, and technologists – many from King’s Lynn and the surrounding region – comprising a team of 36 people working together across disciplines.

The legacy site for the project may be found at www.revealkl.com.
