Talent Talk: Maya: The Birth of a Superhero and Evolver

Join us for a deep dive into two immersive works, both featuring in Cannes Immersive Competition. Artists Poulomi Basu and CJ Clarke will bring us behind the scenes of Maya: The Birth of a Superhero, an immersive story following an ordinary girl as she transforms into a uniquely female superhero whose powers derive from menstruation. The work will have its European premiere in Cannes. Producers Emma Hamilton and Sam Pressman will guide us through Evolver (French Premiere), a work which takes the audience on a journey inside the human body, through the processes that sustain all life.
