Silent Disco(2025)

A virtual reality project in which viewers become part of a performance by watching three stereoscopic VR short films. The tension between the virtual party scenes of the three VR films and the physically experienced performance situation among the viewers in a kind of club plays an important role. The first film takes the audience into a mixture of club and elevator on the way down. Together with the other strange party guests, the audience dances in an apocalyptic mood on the way to the underworld. The second film reverses the voyeuristic view typical of cinema: the participants find themselves on a small round stage in an atmospheric strip club. How do the viewers relate to the room and the guests present? In the third black-and-white VR film, the audience finds themselves in a dark, abstract space. A self-playing piano and a fiddling death provide the musical background for a folk dance of death.
