Cassandra’s Field of Flowers
This is a durational installation performance that integrates contemporary dance and digital technology.
Inspired by Noh, a traditional Japanese performance from the 12th century, delves into the theme of Life and Death through diverse expressions. In this piece, we developed AR filters that embody life and death, and that can be superimposed on any scenario at any moment by the viewers. By employing these filters, the viewers can engage in the performance by constructing their own narratives based on their own perception of the performance, and expand it into the unseen realm beyond the stage.
