An immersive live virtual reality experience that invites the audience to journey through Europe as a promised land.
Diogenes Garten is a VR live performance with live performers that explores Europe as a shared idea, shaped by myths, narratives and movements of displacement. The work proposes an immersive journey in which the audience actively participates in the narrative, inhabiting a shared virtual space together with the performers.
The piece is the final chapter of the li/ea/ving trilogy, which focuses on the idea of the promised land. Through a hybrid performative dispositif—body, voice, technology and virtual space—the work reflects on migration, identity, belonging and displacement within the contemporary European context.
Diogenes Garten is the first virtual reality production with live performers created in Catalonia. It opens a new field of relationship between performance, technology and audience, where dramaturgy is constructed in real time through shared experience.
