It's 2034 and you're part of the team in the control room on an international space station on the planet Mars. Suddenly there's a code red - and it's going to take a team effort to avert a catastrophe.
Part video game, part live theatre, Destination Mars is the latest production from the award winning company that created APOLLO 13: Mission Control. That was an interactive show about the ill-fated moon mission that went on to tour the USA and Australia.
It was also relatively low tech - some computer consoles and great sound effects. Now, more than a decade on, the team's roped in the makers of the viral Fortnite online game to integrate video-game technology into this new production.
Brad Knewstubb and Kip Chapman have created Destination Mars which will premiere as part of the Aoteara NZ Festival of the Arts in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Then they have plans to tour it around the country.
Lynn Freeman asked Kip what adding video game technology adds to a live performance?
