Simulation Theory
We are caged in a simulation
Directed by Lance Drake
Produced by Pulse Films
A high-energy concert film that weaves a paranoid sci-fi narrative through theatrical rock performances, blending spectacle with existential questioning about the nature of reality.
Conceived and filmed at London's O2 Arena in September 2019 the film follows a team of scientists as they investigate the source of a paranormal anomaly appearing around the world. Blurring the lines between narrative and concert film, virtual and reality, Muse's most theatrical tour to date launches the viewer through a supernatural spectacle, questioning the world around us.
