Description:
The Shadow, one of Hans Christian Andersen's most famous tales, is the story of a
scientist who gives his shadow the ability to come to life and escape, eventually
taking his place and leaving him in darkness. This story has inspired numerous
artists throughout the centuries, but today, we will imagine an innovative form of immersive
live performance based on mixed reality to tell this tale.
Our theatrical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Shadow offers a unique
interpretation of this classic story by utilizing the latest technologies to create a fantastical
world that viewers can explore in real time. The Shadow delves into the fantastic realm of
shadow, reality, and perception, evoking a world where the real and the imaginary blend, thus
justifying the interest and necessity of employing these new technologies
