About events

An evening with contemporary dance performances features a mixed reality environment that merges the physical reality with an augmented one. The world premiere of the ALTstage technology.

You won’t have seen anything like this - neither in Ukraine, nor anywhere else in the world.

ALTstage COMBINES THE SPECTATORS’ EXPERIENCES OF THEATER, CINEMA AND GAMING.

Imagine that a screen and a stage are no longer separated from each other. Right in front of you, a performer transforms into an entity that can change between dimensions.

Imagine you are enabled to influence the actions of the performer. Your movements and gestures change his/her behavior while your attention is focused on the smallest details. You are drawn into observing the performer in a strangely captivating way. You immerse into a new reality.

This is the vision we have turned into a digital technology, a mobile application named ALTstage. It simply combines of the capabilities of augmented reality with volumetric video capturing in a digital media environment.

Seeing is believing. Only when you share the space with ALTstage, you will grasp this revolutionary new world that will change your idea of “reality” forever.

HOW DOES THE PRESENTATION GO

The ALTstage experience is very personal, so we only invite 100 viewers to each presentation.

First, we'll ask you to install the ALTstage app to your smartphone or tablet. The technology works in two modes:

  • LIVE. You'll see 4 short contemporary dance performances, created specially for ALTstage. In them, the physical presence of the dancers is combined with the choreography in augmented reality. You will meet young artists - Irina Bashuk, Olga Drobysh, Yaroslav Kaynar, Olga Bezginova and Anastasiia Kuzmichova - who are the first in the world working in ALTstage mixed reality format
  • ONLINE. After the theatre performance, we'll provide you with a new experience in which the stage will be replaced by a laptop, and the dancers will leave the screen and appear on the keyboard.

Since you'll be the first ALTstage witnesses, we'll be very interested in your impressions and thoughts on comparing these two modes, the LIVE and ONLINE experiences.

ATTENTION! To get the ALTstage experience, you’ll need a smartphone or tablet with certain technical parameters:

  • iPhone 7 or newer
  • Android 8.0 or newer smartphone with ARCore support

If you do not have a suitable gadget - we'll provide you with an opportunity to have the experience in a different way.

ALTstage project is supported by the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation and the European Union by the House of Europe programme.
