You’re not going to believe what I’m about to tell you. All I’m asking is to keep an open mind.What if I told you the universe is a dream?Would you want to wake up?All my life, I’ve searched for the algorithm of love. I can’t do it alone. I need you.
Download your life. Upgrade your love.
Love Simulation EVE is an invitation to update your life. A virtual reality spectacle never seen in Finland premiered in March 2023 in the International Theatre of Espoo. Now available to tour!
In Love Simulation EVE, a VR headset will transport you into another realm.
There, you will encounter others like you – without words but full of spirit.
There, somewhere between longing and dreams, you may discover yourself.
We are here for you.
DOWLOAD YOUR LIFE. UPDATE YOUR LOVE.
DOWLOAD YOUR LIFE. UPDATE YOUR LOVE.
