Talent Talk: Immersive stories in competition

Join us for a deep dive into two immersive works, both featuring in Cannes Immersive Competition. Artists Poulomi Basu and CJ Clarke bring us behind the scenes of Maya: The Birth of a Superhero, an immersive story following an ordinary girl as she transforms into a uniquely female superhero whose powers derive from menstruation. The work will have its European premiere in Cannes. We are also joined by producers Emma Hamilton and Sam Pressman who guide us through Evolver (French Premiere), a work which takes the audience on a journey inside the human body, through the processes that sustain all life.
