Multimedia decorations

Having combined choreography and computer graphics solutions in our performances we make our audience feel hypnotized by the phantasmagoria of the characters on stage. To get this atmosphere we have installed a special construction of five screens, we have made several panoramas, so the action will be moving from stage to screens and back. Graphics is not a simple decoration on stage, It drives the performance, helps to unfold the story on stage focusing on its magic. If we take ordinary decorations, it will be impossible to get such an effect. Projection screens give an opportunity to instantly change the geometry of the area, arrange graphic accents, transform the scene, in other words, there must be a mysterious flair on stage. To make the combination of graphics and choreography beneficial, some mise en scenes are being transformed on stage, which makes it a harder job for the artists. They have to coordinate their dancing choreography, following to music and living their roles on stage with accurately remembering the changes appearing on screens, to act in sync with computer animation so that a single performance is created. This has never occurred on ballet stage before! However all the canonical dancing pieces are performed without transformations – these are absolutely classically staged performances tailored for the modern audience.
