ALTstage designed pioneering technology bringing videos of real-life dancers, not computer models, to AR. The app allows the audience to enjoy 3D plays at home — all you need is a modern smartphone and a laptop. A project was realised with the support of the Hatathon “Hack The Culture” and in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Ukraine.
The project explores the notions of “insider/outsider” in the modern world. “How do we identify a kindred spirit?” is the question occupying Anton, who holds a half-joking performance, designs a multimedia installation, and stages a dance performance only to prove that deriving a formula is impossible.
The project was created in collaboration with the Post Theater stage writer from Berlin, Max Schumacher.
