THE BLUE BLUE
"In this performance, you get to embark on a fantastical journey to a sparkling underwater world. Down in the depths, you'll encounter mysterious sea plants, fish, and maybe even a shark or two? And somewhere, where you least expect it, there's a mystery. 'The Blue Blue' is an interactive theater experience that makes room for imagination, play, and humor."
- From the project description of “The Blue Blue” by Darling Desperados.

The Blue Blue was a VR/Theatre hybrid project developed during the fall of 2022.
The project was developed by theatre group Darling Desperados, and had it’s premiere at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern Skärholmen in December of 2022.
Pusselbit designed all of the 3D environments for VR that were included in the project. We also did the lighting, camera animation and animation work for the many fantastical creatures within the VR environments.
The project was developed in collaboration between Kulturhuset Stadsteatern and Stockholm University of the Arts (Stockholms Konstnärliga Högskola), with support from Stockholm Stad.
