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 new forms of technology, the individual immersive experience allows the audience member to take the part of the protagonist, Jordan, inside a live, animated world.
The experience is by award-winning playwright and filmmaker Jordan Tannahill, and is a co-production between the National Film Board of Canada and UK’s National Theatre.
