ORBIT

In the search for the lost voice of the machine creature, visitors become players: their own voice becomes the controller, transforming and undergoing its own aesthetic metamorphosis in order to playfully connect with the VR world. Everything seems to set everything else into vibration, creating a relational network between the player and the callers inhabiting the virtual reality. Our human understanding of matter and the world shifts slightly toward a post-anthropocentric perspective.

In this work, choreographer Miriam Rieck and composer Nicolas Berge move between music theatre and VR game, installation and performance, new materialism and karaoke. Vibration becomes a tool of communication, allowing connections and relationships to be experienced in new ways.

Everything seems to set something else into vibration, creating a relational network between the player and the callers inhabiting the virtual reality. In doing so, the work gently shifts our human understanding of matter and world toward a post-anthropocentric perspective.
