Dr. Valentine & the Heart of the Golden Vessel
360° Original Production
A Theatrical Dome Time-Travel Adventure
Dr. Valentine & the Heart of the Golden Vessel blends live theatre, cinema and an original orchestral score in a time-travel adventure. This live production has been created specifically to showcase the storytelling capabilities of the 360° dome.
In a future where the historical record has collapsed, a scientist with amnesia journeys through Earth’s history aboard the Golden Machine. With each jump, the world changes in an instant - from ancient Sumer and Weimar Berlin to the dance floor of Studio 54. In every era, Valentine crosses paths with the mysterious Golden Woman, who sings to him across time. As he pieces together humanity’s lost past, he begins to uncover the surprising truth about his own.
Developing the Work
Dr. Valentine was created as part of the Not From Here cross-platform universe. While a stand-alone show, it was conceived as the “show-within-a-show” for the accompanying TV series. The live production gives audiences a chance to attend the very show they see taking shape on screen.
The opening animatic depicts the moment Dr. Valentine awakens with no memory inside an ominous future world - and his discovery of the Golden Machine that will carry him through time. The orchestral score, sound design and 360° projections were developed together to tell that part of the story.
