Lunatics

Lunatics

The Lunatics - a six and a half minute interactive fairy tale about consumption, exploration, and creativity.

Told by an elder Lunatic in an almost Native American chieftain storyteller way, this interactive experience guides you through the Lunatics' transformative journey from being consumers to becoming creators. The Lunatics have always worshipped the moon, but during more precarious times, they ignored it in favor of a more consuming light. They wanted more and more and their once cherished moon slipped away. By the time they realized what had happened, it was an uphill battle to get the moon back. Lesson learned - excess can destroy you.

The interactive part of the story plays out by including you, the viewer, blending the role of audience and participant. While wearing masks, you are transported onto the screen and into the story where you see, hear, and physically engage with the tale's themes. Your movements trigger animations empowering you to affect the world on screen. The cool thing is you're not just watching the story, you are the story and with that, you walk away with a deeper understanding of the story's underlying themes and morals.
