Co-Commission of Empire Soldiers VR by Metro Boulot Dodo
Empire Soldiers is a breathtaking show blending performance and technology to tell the compelling stories of the forgotten Caribbean soldiers of World War 1.
Using virtual reality headsets and surround sound this show brings a truly immersive experience that is emotive and unforgettable.
You will be transported back in time to 1918 alongside soldiers returning from the front line. You will hear the captivating stories of the battlefield directly from the soldiers themselves and share their emotional experiences of the return home.
