Experience the world’s first virtual reality community opera.

​

Out of the Ordinary/As an nGnách tells the tale of a community forced to flee their barren homeland, which, due to their own actions, can no longer sustain them. Nalva, our main character, builds a boat to take her people on an epic journey to find a new home.

This VR opera will bring you to an imagined world, realised through animation, creating a truly unique   experience where you will have the ability to move around and interact with the environment, and re-imagines what opera can be for a new digital age.

Written by composer Finola Merivale and librettist Jody O’Neillworking with director Jo Mangan and students from rural Ireland and communities from Inis Meáin, Tallaght and South Dublin.
