participatory/immersive
performance

A multifaceted action including a performance and two workshops.

 

"Victor", an interactive/immersive performance inspired by the book "Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus" by Mary Shelley. The protagonist of the book Victor Frankenstein creates and animates a new creature through chemical materials and old/dismembered body parts that belong to people who are no longer alive.

​

In the play "Victor", the viewer will have the opportunity to experience but also to execute the story.

​

The work uses the story of Frankenstein in an attempt to discuss contemporary and topical scientific experimentation but also to present a framework for examining the ethics and ethics of not only the experiment but also the experimenter.

​

Entering a specially designed environment that alludes to a futuristic scientific laboratory, the viewer takes on the role of a "new Frankenstein". His journey will unfold through a series of three interactive points.

Through his choices, he will unlock a two-minute choreographic performance. Due to the interactive features of the show, the audience will experience a unique choreographic performance which they will "design" through the choices they will make during their journey.

​

The experiential experience will be enhanced by the atmosphere inspired by the characters of Mary Shelley's book, "Frankenstein Or The Modern Prometheus" and a digital scenography inspired by Laban notation system.

 

Maria Mitsi as the main curator of the project, in collaboration with the artist Nasia Papavasiliou, unite a group of artists from separate practices, and present a deconstructed and reconstructed theme of the book through experience and interaction. Members of the group are Belinda Papavasiliou as performer/choreographer and Dimitris Savvas in the sound composition.
