Lovecraft Country - Sanctum
EVENT 1 | GARDEN OF EDEN
The first event, ‘Garden of Eden’ transported guests into a virtual world that was a manifestation and celebration of cultural and artistic themes within the show. The guests navigated their way through a virtual art show, displaying the artworks of afrofuturist artists; Divine Opulence by David Alabo and SBH Rae and Falling Roses by Devan Shimoyama are existing installations which were rendered into the Sanctum, and Yung Yemi created a bespoke piece titled Ancestors’ Dream, a 3-story tall sculpture that viewers can inhabit.
EVENT 2 | AN AMERICAN DREAM
Travelers to “An American Dream” experienced an immersive theatrical performance inspired by the words of James Baldwin, created by Lovecraft Country writer Shannon Houston, and performed by star Jurnee Smollett.
EVENT #3 | MUSIC OF THE COSMOS
The final event was a virtual reality concert given by Janelle Monáe, eight-time Grammy nominated singer-songwriter, leading film and TV actress and record producer, who will be giving fans an out-of-this-world performance as her first ever performance in virtual reality.
