An investigation into the ultimate synergy of different media: music, image and light. How can we use contemporary technology so that all elements complement each other and can also be influenced live? With this live influence, we are not aiming for a technical highlight, but to enhance the total experience of the spectator. The ultimate desire is to create a performance that the audience will experience as one big audiovisual trip.
