This immersive journey takes you through the past, present, and future \u2014 vividly portraying the highs and lows of Queer history. The story of Rise of the Rainbow is told through an innovative blend of physical and virtual worlds; life-sized decor, augmented reality content, spatial audio soundscapes, smell zones and live theatre.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the experience, you step onto the stage yourself, moving through a colorful, abstract city made up of giant inflatable objects in rainbow hues. Wearing an AR headset, you are guided through personal stories and pivotal events such as the first Pride protests of the 1960s, the suffering and loss during the AIDS crisis, and the powerful voices of today\u2019s activists fighting for the rights of trans and intersex people around the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15117\" src=\"https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-1800x1200.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/dropstuff.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fotoMaartenVanHaaff1801-klein-705x470.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In small groups, you are accompanied by performers from the LGBTQIA+ community. Through art forms such as dance, poetry, and music, the experience explores social themes like freedom, desire, activism, and friendship. It culminates in a collective finale, where past and present come together and you are invited to reflect on your own place and role in this ongoing story.<\/p>\n<p>Not less than 72 visitors can participate in the same time for which the design team created a unique platform in which all scenes can be controlled synchronously. Visitors can see the each other and both the physical space and virtual layers, so\u00a0 Rise of the Rainbow wasn&#8217;t created as an individual but collective XR experience. This system, the technology \u00e1nd scenography, is now also available for new immersive experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Rise of the Rainbow was premiered at International Theatre Amsterdam during Pride Amsterdam, July-August 2025. It is the ambition to make a tour through Theatres and locations\/festivals for immersive experiences in 2026 and 2027 even as to create a European version in collaboration with European LGBTQIA heritage and location partners. Also the re-use of the technical system and set-up for new stories and scenographies is part of our ambition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Agenda<br \/>\n<\/strong>29 juli &#8211; 3 augustus 2025 at
