Step into a unique pop-up experience on your local high street. For two weeks only, Dante or Die Theatre Company has transformed an empty shop into a captivating film and exhibition space.
Take a seat in a submerged betting shop to watch Odds On, an award-winning, solo-player interactive film that plunges you into the world of online gambling.
Log in to Pearls of Fortune, a fictional online slots game. Create a fun name, choose an adorable avatar, and take a few spins beneath the waves. From your first win to the hidden truths behind the screen, you'll get a game's-eye view of how your fellow players are really doing.
The accompanying exhibition delves deep into the impact of gambling on people's lives. Learn about the making of the film and discover resources and support information.
We can offer creative community workshops and post-screening talks about the themes raised in Odds On. Please contact sophiehack@danteordie.com for more information.
Access:
Inside Odds On will be fully accessible to wheelchair users. The interactive film is creatively captioned and an audio-described version is available at all times.
Content warning:
The films presented contain gambling (live play, images, sounds, slot simulation) and discussions around lived experience of gambling which may be very triggering to people who are in recovery.
A full support pack for anyone who may be affected by the issues raised is available here.
