IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION

Anyone who associates the term holographic performance with the holodeck à la Star Trek is right about the basic principle of this fascinating technology. Because with holographic performance, people, products, lettering, logos and everything else that the imagination can conjure up "materialise" in the middle of the room, even though they are not actually there.

This is made possible by a special projection technique that meets a wafer-thin, transparent film stretched in front of the stage, which is invisible to the audience.

However, the holographic performance only unfolds its full effect when interacting with real content. When two speakers enter into a dialogue, only one of whom is live on stage, but both of whom are on stage. When musicians from all over the world come together to form a large orchestra, but only some of them are actually on stage and the rest have been projected onto it. When live and eagerly awaited dancers unveil the new vehicle, the dancers are real, but the vehicle can fade out from one second to the next.

Amazement, disbelief and bewilderment are at least as inevitable in this performance as the projections themselves.
