Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth, the world’s first post-cinematic choreographic installation, refracts, evolves and reimagines dance performance in a startlingly original new form of experience.
On the Other Earth is presented in Jeffrey Shaw’s revolutionary nVis immersive installation space—the world’s first 360-degree stereoscopic LED film screen, surrounded by a cylindrical structure measuring 8 metres wide and 4 metres high, displaying a 26-megapixel panoramic 3D image.
In On The Other Earth, McGregor blends dance performance (Company Wayne McGregor and Hong Kong Ballet), choreography, digital imaging, AI and spatialised sound redefining, once again how we think about movement, the body and performance.
Never encountered in the same way twice, groups of up to 20 people will experience On The Other Earth’s visual and sonic landscapes unfolding before them in a series of thought-provoking otherworldly encounters and intimate interplay, upending our perceptions of performance and the future of entertainment.
