Theatre dramas are usually based on someone else's story. With the VR Theatre project, however, what took place on stage was inspired entirely by experiences and stories from the audience.
The project, organised by the youth group Breakthrough, was based on a 'playback theatre' format which involves a lot of interaction with the audience.
According to Dorothy Wong Ching-hang, senior Web producer and person-in-charge of the project, the unique format tests actors' ability to improvise on the spot.
'In VR Theatre, V stands for 'virtual community' and R for 'real world',' Ms Wong said.
'The project was recorded on the Web. We didn't stage our drama at grand, splendid halls, but in a community centre for minority groups. They should get a chance to see dramas.'
More than 30 young participants were recruited to join the year-long project, staged at schools and community centres and focusing on poverty in Hong Kong.
Yan Leung Hiu-ying, 17, said playback theatre had given her a chance to hear others' stories.
