Synopsis
Awakening, also known as Goodbye, Cinderella, is a mixed reality theatre play featured in the 2023 Sheffield International Documentary Festival's Alternate Realities Talent Artist program. This play depicts the journey of a father who, after losing his daughter, transitions from delusion to clarity. It explores the emotional and psychological processes people go through when confronted with loss and death.
Using mixed reality technology, the play intertwines the real and virtual worlds, contrasting the actors on stage with the projected images behind them. It portrays the father's endless sorrow and frantic physical actions in the wake of his daughter's death, gradually showing his path to self-reconstruction. The play not only focuses on the feelings of the dying but also delves into how those left behind cope with loss, find new meaning, and rebuild their lives.
