The collaboration of German Virtual Reality and Theatre Collective CyberRäuber with dancers of the Badisches Staatsballet, Karlsruhe, Germany, Israeli composer Micha Kaplan and German-Brazilian choreographer Ronni Maciel underwent two drastic transformations: first Covid forced the team to shift the project - originally planned as a live VR-installation on a theatre stage - to cyberspace.
CyberBallet became a performance in front of a live audience, sharing the virtual space with their avatars and the performers on a social VR-platform, without anybody physically leaving their homes.
This version was staged in a series of public rehearsals (one of them as part of the VRHAM Festival 2020 in Hamburg, Germany), followed by its premiere at Ars Electronica Festival 2020.
Motion capture dance data and extensive video recordings are the basis for machine learning / neural networks to isolate, analyse, contextualise and visualise dance. The visitor, by exploring a stage, gains a fragmented new perspective on something humans take for granted, while being nearly incomprehensible for a machine: having a body and the joy of movement.
