The Mountain was a single-entry immersive installation that empowered individuals to confront and embody the hero’s Journey. Crafted from a personal experience climbing high altitude volcanoes in the Pacific Cascades, motion tracking sensors and extensive production design transformed the 10,000 sq. ft. Payne Theater into a multimedia arena that reacted to your presence. Participants traversed a formidable environment and found themselves at the center of their own quest to dispel the darkness gathering on the horizon.
