immersive reality air

Air is the result of the recording from an excerpt of the hypermedia 3D dance performance of Larumbe Danza company, premiered in 2019. The production was performed in 2023 at the Setagaya Theater in the city of Tokyo (Japan) and an immersive 4K 180º stereoscopic or 3D recording was made, where the audience is placed in different positions inside the theater, with the sensation of contemplating the performance in situ.

SYNOPSIS

Air, as strange as it may seem, takes place in an elevator.

One fine day, two neighbors, two people who barely know each other, when going down to the street from their apartments in a very high building in a big city, find themselves in the elevator which is unexpectedly blocked. Faced with this situation, with the forced coexistence in a very small environment, faced with worry, uncertainty and little by little, the awareness of an increasingly rarefied air, the two neighbors help each other to calm down by inhaling and exhaling air, first in a hurried way but gradually in a calmer, more relaxed and deeper way.

This performance is a fable of commitment to the well-being of one of our universal goods told through the skill of the dancers and the magic of 3D projections.
