Animate is an immersive mixed reality theatre performance based on the Metamorphosis scientific-artistic research project funded by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec – Nature et Technologies (FRQNT, leader: M. Wanderley, McGill) & Société et Culture (FRQSC, leader: C. Salter, Concordia), through a grant from the program PRISME.

It adapts the novel with the same name written by Kate Story and addresses the eventuality of climate catastrophe by merging performance, radio play, and an immersive audiovisual installation.

Animate premiered in August 2022 at the KET-Halle in Weimar, Germany, for 400 people by groups of 12 spectators over 10 days.
