Maquette is a hybrid physical-virtual performance combining motion capture, contemporary circus and gaming technology to explore how the human body is perceived, interpreted, and reimagined by both the physical and the programmed eye.
Scene 3 : The Metaverse immerses the audience in a digital, contemporary dance in which avatars try to express individuality but cannot, eventually falling into conformity. The scene offers a view into our current moment where online viewers attempt to express themselves but struggle to maintain nuance or individuality.
Scene 3: The Metaverse is one of six scenes of the evening-length version of Maquette (2023), performed by Hybrid Movement Company—Françoise Voranger, Grasshopper Mitch, Andrea Nikki Ortiz, and Graham Reese—and produced by Media Art Xploration with support from EY Metaverse Lab, NEW INC, Onassis ONX, and OptiTrack.
