Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: The Seven Ravens brings a fairy tale to life with Augmented Reality

by Savannah Stewart

“Captivating visuals and interactive features blend together, transforming traditional storytelling into a mesmerizing journey.”

This innovative experience, narrated by author Neil Gaiman, uses advanced AR technology to transport you directly into a classic fairy tale in which a woman embarks on a journey to save her seven brothers who’ve been turned into ravens. Through a transparent optical device, captivating visuals and interactive features blend together, transforming traditional storytelling into a mesmerizing journey. The Montreal-based Felix & Paul Studio, specializing in immersive video art — who brought us the enthralling VR experience Space Explorers: THE INFINITE — are behind the creation of this new work displayed by PHI Centre in partnership with the Société de la Place des Arts.

Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: The Seven Ravens is at Place des Arts (175 Ste-Catherine W.), through Feb. 23, 2025
