2017  ·  Castle of Good Hope, Cape Town

Standing O's debut production transformed Cape Town's Castle of Good Hope into a multi-sensory, choose-your-own-adventure experience, with audiences free to roam the fortress as the story unfolded around them.

Seen by thousands during its sold-out run, Immortal was nominated for two Fleur du Cap awards, including Best New Director, and seven Broadway World awards, including Best New Work.

Josh founded Standing O Immersive Experiences to pioneer large-scale theatrical storytelling in South Africa.

He designs the vision, narrative, and aesthetic for each project, then assembles handpicked Heads of Department (specialists in design, choreography, sound, and branding) tailored to the production's needs.

This agile model ensures every experience is crafted by the best in the field, chosen specifically for that project, while maintaining a singular artistic voice.
