<Synopsis>


An interactive dance and media performance conceived and directed by Klaus Obermaier, in collaboration with the Ars Electronica Futurelab, featuring Desirée Kongerød and Rob Tannion.


 


What choreography emerges when software is your partner?


When virtual and actual image space share the same physics?


Where everything that moves on the stage is both interactive and independent?


And any form, dancing or still, can be transformed into a kinetic projection surface?


With these questions as the starting point APPARITION takes interactive performance to another level through the creation of a unique stage work integrating live performance, sound, projection and an interactive system comprising real-time image generation and computer vision.


 


The interactive digital system as performance partner and the creation of an immersive kinetic space, form the artistic framework for APPARITION.


 


<Press Review>


A setting of whole beauty, 'un tour de magie', a trip of magic.


LE MONDE – France


All this unfolds to a pulsing electronic soundscape composed by Obermaier himself.


And, boy, is it one spectacle that lives up to the description and pedigree ... Apparition is not just a head-trip, but one filled with wonder.


THE BUSINESS TIMES – Singapore



Desiree Kongerod and Robert Tannion's precise, vigorous performance brought a storm of applause afterward.
