"A lovesong for the possibility of change in even the most static of situations". - Kim Collier
After receiving a sold-out world premiere in the summer of 2021, The Magic Hour 360 made its VR debut as part of Boca del Lupo’s LivePerformance360. Guided through scenes by rich audio, video, lighting and stagecraft, The Magic Hour explores the routes of the imagination; the physical world meets the digital world, blending art, design, music and text in a multi-layer mixed-media feast for the senses. The destination of this curious and magical journey is a reflection on an unprecedented year – and a step forward into a brave new world.
In our goal to make The Magic Hour 360 accessible to audiences, we are proudly offering the film for free on Youtube.
As an independent theatre company, Electric Company Theatre is always grateful for the support from donors and the community. If you have the means, please consider making a donation to Electric Company Theatre and The Magic Hour 360 team.

“The Magic Hour takes audiences of one through a delightful fever dream. ”
“When I am overwhelmed with feeling, my body sort of convulses — like I’m getting kicked in the heart. It’s a form of release, an opening. That happened again and again while I was experiencing The Magic Hour and I’m grateful for it.”
"By the end of the show, I felt alert to surprise and possibility. I was enchanted and delighted. Which, I suppose, is what magic is."
