\"The week she turned 18 was the last time my mother saw snow. On my own 18th birthday, she organised a surprise party, with all the fans she could find whirling paper snow through the air. The dress code was \u201c0 degrees\u201d, but after an hour of dancing we were all soaking wet, so we took off our ski suits and jumped into the lake.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Author Teona Galgo\u0163iu, director and digital artist Roman Senkl, and the team at minus.eins.labs \u2013 Phil Hagen Jungschlaeger, Philip Bu\u00dfmann, and others \u2013 take their audience on a journey through digital places that Cali, the central character of the story, has created and left behind. In this immersive augmented reality experience, participants dive deep into Cali's collected memories of her everyday life, her family, her love and the fears of a world in which the threat of apocalypse is ever-present.<\/p>\n

Further informationCali's poetic, surreal worlds of a possible future repeatedly reveal frightening parallels to our current world and its possible development. With great visual and linguistic poetry, the end of the world and the question of what remains or should remain are explored in a playful and melancholic way.<\/p>\n

The theatre collective minus.eins.labs translates central characters and motifs from Galgo\u0163ius' play \u2018I can only fall asleep, if I imagine it is snowing\u2019 into an immersive AR installation. Generational conflicts, the climate crisis, fear of change and the hope for honest emotional acceptance all appear in it. The audience, as a group of six people, takes an almost archaeological journey through digital spaces that allow them to experience disappearance and loss in an unsentimental way, while at the same time telling of the fundamental possibility of a new beginning beyond the Anthropocene. The intertwining of augmented reality and network technology created by minus.eins.labs enables the audience to enter a unique, immersive world together \u2013 between dream, memory, artificial intelligence and \u2018Matrix\u2019. And with the help of performance capture systems, the actors were not only able to lend their voices to their avatars, but also breathe life into them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
