Persona
Dance & Animation in AR (Augmented Reality) Performance
A multidisciplinary performance combining dance, Video and animation in Augmented Reality.
The piece invites the user to observe the live performance on a screen and, through it, to meet a new layer.
A creation that takes apart the concept of persona in a meeting between two women, the audience and the system of social expectations.
Through a homage of paintings of women from the 18th and 19th centuries, masks are constructed and dismantled in a performance of the seen and hidden.
The work was produced by the From Jaffa to Agripas Festival under the artistic direction of Sofia Krantz.
