Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth is a new, post-cinematic choreographic installation inspired by McGregor’s latest live stage work DEEPSTARIA that refracts, evolves and reimagines the work’s conceptual DNA into a startlingly original new form of experience.
Leveraging the interaction paradigms of Jeffrey Shaw’s pioneering media art practice, On The Other Earth takes place within Shaw’s radically immersive nVis installation space - the world’s first 360-degree stereoscopic LED cinematic screen, its 26-million-pixel panoramic 3D imagery experienced inside an enveloping cylindrical architecture of eight metres wide and four metres tall.
In On The Other Earth, McGregor combines dance performance (from Company Wayne McGregor and Hong Kong Ballet), choreography, digital imaging, multi-modal sensing, AI, audience interactivity and spatialised sound redefining, once again how we think about movement, the body and performance.
Groups of 20 are invited to explore On The Other Earth's unique visualisation and interactional behaviour capabilities in an intimate interplay, and thought-provoking, other-worldly encounter.
