INTRO
Reality or Illusion?
In this 360 ° Virtual Experience 11 dancers deal with the topic in various layers of virtual and real environment. Tanzwerk Bremen cooperated with Xenorama to create this unique experience which synergizes the use of media, choreography and space in a hybrid virtual and real performance. The 360 ° film scenes were shot in urban, industrial and natural scenarios to create a contrast between the different realities
The presentation explored a unusual merging of virtual and physical performance: The visitors would enter the venue and disappear underneath their VR-glasses. While they are viewing the 360° video, real performers enter the room and start dancing the same choreography. When the visitors put of the VR-glasses they see the same dancers performing the end of the virtual performance they just watched
