Scenography for Apparatjik.

Day of the Dead was a collaborative performance by Apparatjik, Concha Buika and Void at Festspillene i Bergen 2016.

Through a series of real-time generated audio-, midi- and motion-reactive layered projections, a unique visual narrative was created to accompany the band's performance. This one-time event was created as an interactive experiment, investigating strategies for creating a full-length opera celebrating the life and death of the artist Julia Pastrana.

To generate a volumetric landscape of visual effects, pieces of translucent fabric was suspended from the ceiling above the stage, effectively creating a 3d-canvas that was meticulously re-mapped virtually using custom built software. Combining fog, smoke, front- and rear-projection with custom made dmx lighting fixtures created a flexible world of ever changing graphics emphasising the underlying story communicated by the bands performance.
