To boldly go... A performance by CREW is always a bit of an exploration into the unknown. Terra Nova takes the famous story of Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to the Antarctic as a starting point for an immersive adventure set in your brain. Video glasses, headphones and a head-mounted tracker are used to plunge you into a filmic world. In one word, ground-breaking!
