VR_I is a virtual reality dance piece in which five spectators are immersed together and in real time in various, disturbingly strange locations. Thanks to immersive technology, the users, represented in the form of avatars, can interact with their teammates with an unprecedented fluidity of movement, while virtual dancers, at times giant or tiny, move around them…
Stunning, unique, social and contemplative, the dance piece addresses our perception of reality and explores new, unchartered and innovative territories for contemporary dance.
