Draw Me Close blurs the worlds of live performance, virtual reality and animation to create a vivid memoir about the relationship between a mother and her son charting twenty-five years of love, learning and loss. Weaving theatrical storytelling with cutting-edge technology, the individual immersive experience allows the audience member to take the part of the protagonist, Jordan, inside a live, animated world. Using a real-time motion capture system, the set is transformed into an interactive space that is both physical and virtual. Written and directed by Jordan Tannahill, Draw Me Close is the first major co-production between the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and the National Theatre’s Immersive Storytelling Studio..
