Who killed Violet Vario? You decide. The truth is a slippery thing at the best of times, but what happens when you put it in the hands of an audience? With Half-Real, the whodunnit murder mystery is turned on its head, granting the viewer an unprecedented level of power. Harnessing the latest in real-time movement tracking, 3D video mapping and projected imagery, Adelaide's The Border Project equips its onlookers with the technology to rewind events, replay them from different perspectives, enter the minds of the suspects and revise the meanings of everything played out before them.
Half-Real is the winner of the 2011 Malcolm Robertson Prize
