We want to transform the Shakespearean play into an immersive, hybrid experience using music, sound, visuals, choreography and haptic sensations. It is a performative VR-installation which takes the viewer on a sensual journey in which he/she is able to interact with the live performers and allowed to move around freely within the physical space. The sensory elements like sand and water (the whole Magic Forest is transformed into an underwater world) complement the visuals experienced through the VR headset. The live performers are motion-tracked and transferred in the virtual scene in real time. This project is created to be showcased at art spaces, theaters, festivals, museums etc. Key collaborators: Ulrich Schrauth (Creative Director & Concept), Amaury La Burthe / Novelab Paris (VR-Artwork), Anouk van Dijk (Choreography), Magnus Fiennes (Music / Sound), Target 3D (Motion Capturing) etc.
