Next to Normal, the hit musical, recently premiered in Barcelona with a fully immersive format. Its authors, Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt, adapted the book for a new era, paring it down to a tight sixty minutes intended for a 20,000-square-foot venue in which actors and audiences would share the same space.
Del Campo Global, Layers of Reality, and Barcelona Grec Festival co-produced this wholly new take on the musical and trusted Desilence to deliver immersive projections to accompany live performances. It was a bold task to undertake, as there would be no scenography or props–simply great surround sound and 360 degrees to cover.
