Filmore – an interactive mystery where the audience is the main character…

Modelled on escape rooms and murder mystery games and drawing inspiration from popular culture tinged with the hazy nostalgia of youth, Filmore combines visuals, art installation and music to create a unique multimedia, interactive and theatrical experience.

What the audience discover in the three rooms of Filmore’s house and from the films shown in the evidence room will dictate how the story will unfold and enable them to answer the three main questions:

Where can we find Filmore?
What happened to him?
What is he planning?

Originally commissioned for Dublin Fringe Festival 2022. Winner of The George Fitzmaurice Award.

Creator Dafe Orugbo is also available for in-school workshops ahead of the escape room experience. The workshop is centred around creative media. It focuses on refining the tools needed to excel in an overly saturated media landscape. It mixes open discussion with targeted exercises that will have students coming up with creative solutions to simple problems, with a specific focus on multimedia.

Filmore! is the moniker of Irish singer, songwriter, rapper and visual artist Max Zanga, leaning into the absurdity of the world today with a strong focus on power and violence using immersive storytelling throughout his music. Max was recently commissioned by Dublin Fringe Festival to create an installation combining striking visuals and imagery while exploring the complexities of youth and nostalgia using his character Filmore!, which went on to receive the George Fitzmaurice Award for experimental art.
