VR fantasia The Last Dodo is a modern allegory that explores elements of fact and fiction within the environment of our given realities. Now an icon of extinction, the dodo as a flightless bird observed by humanity form 1507–1681 on the tropical island of Mauritius, its only natural habitat.

In the first act, the audience of 12 people seated around the stage, wear VR headsets and watch the pre-recorded 360-degree performance from the point of view of a dodo egg in the nest in the center. In the second act, they continue watching the live performance from their own point of view after they take off the headsets.
