Ito Meikyu
Description
Ito Meikyu is a virtual reality experience that develops around references from Japanese art history and literature (The Fukinuki Yatai, The Tale of Genji, The Pillow Book) and unfolds as a large sensory fresco with strong emotional potential. A heterogeneous set of drawn, animated and sound scenes are taken from digital material; they recreate a kind of subjective world (inner and outer) in the form of a labyrinth composed of fractal architectures, inhabited by plants, objects, animals, men, women, motifs and calligraphy. The virtual wandering space allows us to access different scenes based on the randomness of our choices: a kind of hide-and-seek game with the universe at the centre of which we are the omniscient spectator.Beethoven Wars is based on two incidental music pieces by Insula orchestra’s favourite composer: King Stephen and The Ruins of Athens. This reimagined version takes place on distant planets, in a far-off future where our scorched Earth has become uninhabitable. Beethoven’s magical score, however, remains the same. All around the artists on the stage, a Manga space opera is playing on a 350m2 curved screen and on the auditorium’s walls, using 2D, 3D and mapping technologies. This film will later be available on specialized streaming platforms and be turned into VR experiences.
