fuse* “Dökk”

“Dökk” (Icelandic for “darkness”), completed three years after the release of “Ljós”, is an interactive live media opera that has been performed around the world.
The key concept is the synchronicity and unpredictability of human existence. The dancer weaves a symbolic story as she goes through darkness and light. Using holograms in addition to the background screen, the dancer’s body is fully enveloped in images. Sounds, movements, and heartbeats on stage are converted into data, affecting the images in real time. In addition, a newly developed system analyzes the sentiments surrounding social media trends in the outside world, and this data is also translated to impact the images on stage. The fiction inside the theater and the reality outside connect, bringing us “Dökk”.
“Advanced technology is the key for artists to acquire new languages and forms of expression” says the fuse* team, “and art and technology have always been closely related.” This comprehensive 21st century piece of art, born in the same country that gave us da Vinci, is a one-night-only performance not to be missed!
