Apotheosis
LIVE AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

A VIRTUAL PERFORMANCE FOR ‘OUTLINES’, a free series of cutting-edge digital works from Australia, the UK and Korea

Apotheosis is a real-time motion-capture piece, filmed in the Sydney Opera House’s Utzon Room. It blends real-time rendering, game engine interactivity, world building and set design. 

The audience follows movement artist Lydia Kivela as she explores a hyper-real 3D environment created by digital artist Serwah Attafuah, with Kivela’s every movement instantly mirrored onscreen by a digital avatar, and accompanied by an original score – performed live by ptwiggs. 

Inspired by the glaring neon ambience of Spring Breakers and cyberpunk, Apotheosis ushers audiences through a hallucinogenic dreamscape populated by demons, abandoned Western Sydney landmarks and NPC doomers.
