Over the course of an hour, WHIST takes you on an interactive journey, merging physical theatre with Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) technologies and an art installation, for a truly immersive experience.

Gulbenkian co-commissioned WHIST in 2017 and it premiered in the Colyer-Fergusson Hall in April that year before going on to tour the world. Now AΦE return to Gulbenkian Arts Centre as Associate Artists and WHIST returns with them as an international hit.

Inspired by the work of Sigmund Freud and Japanese artist Shuji Terayama, WHIST invites you on a journey into the unconscious mind, through the dreams, fears and desires of a fictional family. WHIST blurs the boundaries between consciousness and the unconscious, reality and fiction, the physical and the virtual.
