Metaphysical journey staged by Maxim Didenko In September 2020, Maxim Didenko, in collaboration with Evgeny Mandelstam, released the first performance in augmented reality, “Fleeing Atalanta.” The play is based on the book of the medieval alchemist Michael Mayer. Viewers will be presented with a parallel reality of the world of Atalanta. Actors, choreography and scenery will be shown through a smartphone camera using AR technology.

​

“We influence the viewer in several ways. It is as if he is physically located inside the space of the city. In the headphones he hears certain voices and some metaphysical information. Using his phone, he sees objects hidden here,” said director Maxim Didenko.

 

To watch the play “Fleeing Atalanta” you will need a mobile phone IPhone no lower than 7 and headphones. You need to download a special application created by the Immerse platform and follow the route leading through the corners of China Town.
