The universe of BLACK MIRROR is venturing into the realm of free-roaming immersive experiences with THE BLACK MIRROR EXPERIENCE, a new production set to debut in Montreal in May 2026. This initiative is produced by Banijay Live Studio in collaboration with Univrse, and is locally presented by Infinity Experiences. The project offers a 60-minute journey tailored for groups of up to six participants. Tickets are expected to be available for purchase starting April 21.

Free-roam VR is entering a make-or-break phase: the sector doesn’t need more proof that the format can amaze—it needs infrastructure that helps it scale. In this episode of our FreeRoaming series, the conversation with David Bardos (Univrse) focuses on XRoam, a platform designed to connect creation, venue operations, and distribution for large-scale, multi-user LBVR.

Immersive work is no longer a side attraction tacked onto a performing arts calendar. At the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York, it is increasingly treated as a programming language—one that can expand access, strengthen community ties, and give artists new ways to stage emotion, memory, and presence.
