Aurora, The Secret of Colors

Augmented Reality (AR) Theatre Play, 70mn, 2019



Original title : 오로라, 色의 비밀


Aurora is a solo performance that presents a woman’s response to a virtual world created by augmented reality. Like a mythical god, the performer creates spaces and people, and then weaves them into a story.

In a world where civilization has collapsed, colors as frontiers have faded away. In a cave lives Dodo, a young creature. She detects a strange aura, and embarks upon a long journey looking for answers while exploring what's left of the world.

Actress+Robot arm+Unity+ARKit

Play featuring one actress who performs around a table. At the center of the table is an Iphone controlled by a robot arm with ARKit and Unity. Inside the phone, live video feed of the actress is mixed with 3d motion-captured characters and backgrounds. The virtual reality appears in front of her, and she controls them using trackers. This new and augmented reality is projected on screens behind her.


오로라는 증강현실에 의해 만들어진 가상세계에 대한 여성의 반응을 선보이는 솔로 공연입니다. 신화적인 신과 같이, 공연자는 공간과 사람들을 만들고, 그들을 이야기에 엮어냅니다.

문명이 붕괴된 세계에서, 국경으로서의 색깔은 사라졌습니다. 동굴에는 도도라는 어린 생물이 살고 있습니다. 그녀는 이상한 기운을 감지하고, 세상의 남은 것을 탐험하면서 답을 찾아 긴 여정을 떠납니다.

배우+로봇 팔+Unity+ARKit
한 배우가 테이블 주변에서 공연하는 연극입니다. 테이블 중앙에는 ARKit과 Unity를 사용하는 로봇 팔에 의해 제어되는 아이폰이 있습니다. 휴대폰 안에는 배우의 라이브 비디오 피드가 3D 모션 캡처된 캐릭터와 배경과 혼합됩니다. 가상현실은 그녀 앞에 나타나고, 그녀는 트래커를 사용하여 이를 제어합니다. 이 새로운 증강현실은 그녀 뒤에 있는 화면에 투영됩니다.

Aurora est un spectacle solo qui présente la réponse d'une femme à un monde virtuel créé par la réalité augmentée. Comme un dieu mythique, l'artiste crée des espaces et des personnes, puis les tisse dans une histoire.

Dans un monde où la civilisation s'est effondrée, les couleurs en tant que frontières ont disparu. Dans une grotte vit Dodo, une jeune créature. Elle détecte une étrange aura et se lance dans un long voyage à la recherche de réponses tout en explorant ce qui reste du monde.
