IMAGO at Unterwegs im Licht on the Alter Markt in Potsdam, January 2020: stilt dancers in inflatable costumes, lit by a projection that moves with them.

The seventh edition of the festival drew more than 15,000 visitors, with Volkswagen Automobile Potsdam as logistical partner (XENORAMA). XENORAMA and Stelzen-Art staged the performers to music, organic and graphic light forms passing over their costumes as they walked through the historic square.

Highlights

Projection tracking free-moving performers

Costumes with their own light and air

From Imago Caeli

IMAGO continues IMAGO CAELI, the stilt performance XENORAMA developed with Stelzen-Art, Oakleaf Stelzenkunst and Raummaschine, and runs on the same Raummaschine system. That system also carried IMAGO FLORIS, made for the Fleurop World Cup in Berlin in June 2015.

Each costume carries a mobile projection and tracking unit with dynamic positioning software. The performers are free to move while the projection follows suit. Internal LEDs give the costumes independent illumination, and a ventilation system keeps the inflatable chambers pressurised.
