A man is standing before our eyes, continuously morphing and transforming in an increasingly wild and worrying ritual. Artist Olivier de Sagazan delivers a striking performance, an abomination turned metaphysical through virtual reality.

In the middle of the night, a fire burns in a large empty room. In the distance, footsteps echo. A man in a suit is talking on the phone. We can’t understand the language he speaks but we can see his visibly sad and weary face. Who is this man? Where does he come from? The man sits down and begins a repetitive and distressing ritual. In the harrowing yet fascinating world of O, the audience gets to see a transfiguring performance by French artist Olivier de Sagazan. A radical experience that makes full use of the possibilities of virtual reality.
