A City of Foxes is a tender and intimate approach to immersive storytelling through VR - that allows the audience to have an interactive encounter with a philosophical fox that questions what companionship means in times of otherness and loss. Set across the landscape of a fantastical war that thrives on the persecution of foxes, this is the story of YOU sharing a moment of hope and kindness with a vilified other. A multi-phased experience that in its first phase occurs an Immersive Theatre-cum-VR experience for an audience of 1 to 3 - with the fox played by a live actor.
