Virtual Reality meets Opera
In Conversations, a performer appears as guide and mirror, leading the audience into a virtual space that gradually opens up to encounters with oneself and with others. The performance explores the relationship between individual experience and collective perception, asking how an encounter with another person can deepen our understanding of identity and presence.
Set to the Renaissance composition Belle qui tiens ma vie by Antoine Arbeau, the performance brings different layers of time, reality and perspective together in an immersive environment. The result is a poetic exploration of curiosity, connection and the search for oneself in a world increasingly made up of overlapping realities.

In het koor van de Laurenskerk bouwen we een pijporgel van de toekomst, dat digitaal te bespelen is: een ‘hyperorgel’. Zo wordt het orgel toegankelijker voor een brede groep musici.
