Existing at the intersection of generative storytelling, immersive installation, algorithmic theatre, and mixed reality cinema, this project aims to create a mirage of a place, its inhabitants, and everything underneath its cuticle. Onix y Marmol is a town that exists in a space on the side of the road, where oral culture as embodied practice and latinx virtualities contest otherness, belonging, place, and memory. It is a place that exists  in between, where phantasms of reality and fiction emerge in varying patterns of rhythms and intonation, between the inhospitable and the familiar, unfolding halfway across the present and the future.

This generative narrative embraces and embodies the audience’s presence as jagged, glitchy, sometimes broken or incredibly lucid. Through virtual storytellers, shifting virtual physics, and space-mapping sensors, the story is experienced, heard, and modified in complex patterns of sonic and visual elements.
