These tech creations were created in collaboration with Bryan Aldea and the Topia team so you can embark on an online adventure with Ella Mesma Company and connect with our shows and performers from the comfort of your own home!

Utopia and Utwopia are two online immersive worlds which combine live and recorded performances, interviews, experiences, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, archives of the company’s work, and opportunities to dive deeper into the themes of each performance in a fun, interactive environment! 

Much like the legacy of Club Penguin, you can choose your avatar and take your own exciting, virtual adventure to , discover hidden treasures, and interacting through clickable links.

How to Enjoy Your Experience:

• Prepare for the Adventure: Bring yourself, your family, a drink, and a snack. Feel free to dress up in line with the show’s themes for added fun!
• Best Sound Experience: For the best experience, use headphones to enjoy personalised ambient sounds. Without headphones, increase the volume carefully to avoid feedback as this can negatively impact the experience for you and others
• Set Up: When entering, you will be asked to grant permission for your browser to use your camera and microphone. You can also choose your favourite avatar and add your name.
• Technical Tips:
• Close Zoom/Teams/Skype and other browser tabs apps that might interfere with the functionality of the online world.
• While the experience can be accessed on phones or Android tablets, using a desktop or laptop is recommended for full functionality so you don’t miss out on the full experience (iPads are not supported).
• Explore the World
• Use your cursor keys to move around or follow your footprints—exploration is part of the fun!

To access these worlds, go to the relevant show (currently A Jellyfish Lovesong and The Rainbow Butterfly) and follow the link to sign up.
