A brand new space program is about to launch. Mars is next for settlement, and the first colonists are up for selection. A different set of human “abilities” is needed for people to survive on a new planet, and you can now enroll for the program.
DO YOU HAVE THE MARS FACTOR?
Cast For Mars is a Mars Analog, a simulator, an immersive experience that may insinuate doubts about perceptions of the future by simulating life on Mars.
Entering Cast For Mars means stepping into a cinematic world where an unfolding story happens at the edge of fiction and reality.
Through a blend of live performance, SFX, and scenography, multimedia storytelling and roleplay, participants embark on a weird and adventurous journey that explores not just the colonisation of Mars but also the pressing issues of human cohabitation and ecological sustainability on Earth.
