Quicksilver Seashore

Immersive augmented reality performance using Magic Leap Glasses

Quicksilver Seashore is an immersive, augmented reality performance devised for 3 performers and 20 audience members, all equipped with AR-Glasses. In an exhibition-type space, with olfactory hints, the free moving audience will encounter a small group of vacationers navigating the line between the artificial and the corporeal.

Placed in between the poles of the futuristic and the primitive, the bodies are sent on a somatic exploration at the shore of this artificial beach, where in the perfect binary sterility they start to imagine the return of their repressed identity.
