Synopsis

Call Me Calamity takes spectators to the heart of the American myth and makes them discover the birth of the first female figure of the West.

A legendary figure in the myth of the conquest of the West, the experience Call me Calamity has taken the challenge of telling the origins of the legend of Calamity Jane.

Abandoned on the plains by her father at the age of 13, young Martha Jane has to use her storytelling skills to survive and take care of her siblings.

Participants accompany Martha Jane Canary on her adventures, eventually seeing her transformed into Calamity Jane.

This fantastically theatrical character is reborn from the ashes thanks to technology.

_Call Me Calamity _is a collective VR experience for a group of 2 to 15 participants simultaneously (60m2 space minimum needed).
