The Asian premiere of the award-winning virtual reality film The Doghouse will be staged at The Sanchaya on Saturday, May 7 as part of an innovative events series called Pala.

Written and directed by Johan Knattrup Jensen and produced by Mads Damsbo, The Doghouse is a 20-minute film installation project involving viewers donning five Oculus Rift headsets to completely immerse themselves in the narrative, set at an awkward family dinner, through the eyes and ears of the five actors.

Organised by The Sanchaya and high-profile Singapore-based events organiser Olga Iserlis, Pala aims to create a "modern Asian salon fostering intellectual and cultural exchange amongst Asia's top players".

The Danish filmmakers Jensen and Damsbo will be present at the May 7 premiere, to host a private screening for residents of The Sanchaya followed by a conversation over drinks and cigars about the future of virtual reality entertainment and storytelling.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Sanchaya to participate in this unique journey.

Kind regards,


Estate Manager
