Cologne Premiere for “Hybrid Encounters” at the Festival of Performing Arts

Invited by Freihandelszone Köln Anna-Carolin Weber & Tobias Kopka will present their latest work, “Hybrid Encounters – A Virtual Reality Dance Experience”, at the Festival of Performing Arts in Cologne on October, 4th 2024

In this performative installation, visitors will experience extraordinary dance experiences. Invisible movement sculptures from past dance encounters are made visible through new movements. Put on your VR glasses and headphones and enter a dark, previously invisible space. In this virtual space, visitors encounter a track of movement that fills it as a sculpture. This is not the only invitation to dance. In pairs, visitors take turns dancing, drawing and observing. They immerse themselves in the immediacy of the experience, discovering how others have moved, ‘swimming’ with 3D sculptures, and finding themselves in a shared space. You will have non-verbal encounters with dances long past and new play acquaintances.

The installation, supervised by two performers, runs in a loop and invites visitors aged 12 and over to become players in the virtual reality dance experience in pairs for 12-15 minutes. No dance or technical experience is required to participate.
