A metaphysical journey staged by Maxim Didenko. In September 2020, Didenko and Evgeny Mandelstam released the first show in augmented reality, “Atalanta Fleeing,” based on the treatise by the alchemist Michael Maier. The audience steps into a parallel world: actors, choreography, and set appear through a smartphone camera.

“We work on the viewer in several ways at once. It’s as if you were physically inside the space of the city. Voices and a kind of metaphysical information come through your headphones. Through your phone, you see objects hidden around you,” Didenko said.

 

To see “Atalanta Fleeing,” you need an iPhone 7 or later and headphones: download the Immerse app and follow a route through the back streets of Kitay-Gorod.
