Dance, music, research, virtual reality: the fusion of performative languages with new technologies to give life to the multidisciplinary production
“TINY UPPERCASE – Virtual Bestiary”.
Diving into another life, in its privacy, intimacy, the “behind the scenes”. A subjective experience that offers the opportunity to get to know five ways of being human, five stories, and different universes.
The immersion in another life: in his private, in his intimate, the “behind the scenes”. A subjective experience that offers the opportunity to get to know five humanity, five stories, different universes.
Tiny is a shared ritual-virtual, where we do not remain passive spectators: we establish an active dialogue in close contact with the performer in which limits between real and virtual, between truth and fantasy, waver, cross over and the technological medium becomes a tool to validate and enhance the power of human relationships.
Through the media of the future, we talk dichotomously about memory, the tracks we voluntarily or involuntarily leave behind as we pass, the roots that inextricably intertwine our past, present and future.
We question how the happenings, experiences, encounters of yesterday may affect our “essence” of today, what we are, secrets and frailties are revealed, whispers are made. What remains, visible but intangible, at the end of our “inhabiting” of places?
In this experience what is tangible and what is virtual come together to feed the awareness of one’s presence in the here and now, passing through the short-circuit-continuity between what we see and what we experience – and therefore feel – thanks to our bodies and senses. This is an innovative experimentation, a new staging format, which allows the audience to experience performance in extended reality – XR.
An empty, bare, essential scene will come to life thanks to the contamination of the performers’ bodies and the use of VR visors, which will transform a neutral space into a multisensory, “amplified” environment where everything becomes possible.
