In this project we developed a scenic video for the multidisciplinary company Residual Gurus. The video was designed to be projected on stage during the company’s new show, Origen. The central idea of this scenic piece addresses the holistic conception of the human being. From the most primal and earthly, to the ethereal idea of the existential plane. Our visual narrative proposal wanted to collect the essence of the project through videos that interacted with the show’s dancer. The resulting mix of music, live video and dance was the perfect aesthetic complement to project the company’s unique and eclectic personality to the public.
In this project, we used various visual techniques such as motion graphics, live video feed, 3D animation, and real-time graphics. Through this combination, we developed an interactive stage video specifically designed to accompany Origen, a performance by the company Residual Gurus.
The video’s interactivity lay in its close synchronization with specific choreographic movements of the dancer, creating a visual dialogue between the projected imagery and the physical performance on stage. This approach added a dynamic layer to the audience’s experience.
The central concept was based on the real-time projection of a blend of animated videos, whose composition evolved in perfect harmony with all scenic elements: lighting, music, and the presence of the performers. This meticulous coordination reinforced the unity of the show and highlighted key moments of the staging.
The final result was a visually striking performance, where each component—visual, sonic, and physical—contributed to a rich, coherent, and deeply original artistic proposal. This project stands as a clear example of how new technologies can enhance the language of contemporary stage performance.
To reach the expected result, the following tools and techniques were used:
>> Development of the idea: Together with the members of Residual Gurus, we generated a script, which covered both technical and artistic aspects, for the scenic video that would give life to the company’s new show.
>> Technique: For the creation of visual content, we use motion graphics techniques, interactive video, closed circuit and 3D images, all mixed in real time.
>> Staging: The audiovisual installation was crucial to give the stage the desired appearance.
>> Client: Residual Gurus
