Description:
Virginia Tech's Center for the Arts presents the live cinema performance "Lucid Possession" on March 16th at 7:30 pm and on March 17th at 2 pm and 7:30 pm at Theatre 101.

LUCID POSSESSION is a live cinema performance mixed and animated in real-time using cutting-edge motion-sensing technologies to perform complex layers of media. Musicians and a video DJ control robotic screens, lights, sound and video that merge to present a contemporary ghost story – a poetic musing on noise management – and on self-perception and fame across virtual and real social spaces.

The audience is drawn into a world in which video characters come to life: the wave of a hand moves a video body, and video characters lip synch live to a singer. The players onstage collectively perform the movie, which spills off the dynamic, dimensional screens onto the stage. The result is like a complex three-dimensional, automated video pop-up book, and as characters are brought to life through motion, voice, and robotics, the boundaries of the real and virtual are blurred.
