Born in Hong Kong, acclaimed in Venice and London, and co- produced by Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Ballet and Studio Wayne McGregor, London, the immersive installation comes home, delivering an otherworldly art -tech encounter.
Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth , the world’s first post-cinematic choreographic installation, refracts, evolves and reimagines dance performance in a startlingly original new form of experience.
Co-produced by Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Ballet, and Studio Wayne McGregor, London, the 57-minute programme is set within Jeffrey Shaw and Sarah Kenderdine’s radically immersive, panoramic, 360-degree stereoscopic, 12k LED, 26-million-pixel nVis screen, where 3D imagery is experienced within an enveloping, large-scale cylindrical architecture of eight metres wide and four metres tall. Created in collaboration with artists Ravi Deepres and Theresa Baumgartner, and combining dance, choreography, digital imaging, spatialised sound, and AI, McGregor once again redefines how we think about movement, the body, and performance.
Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth breaks the fourth wall as visitors are invited into the heart of the dance, connecting in close contact with the hyperreal dancers of Company Wayne McGregor and the Hong Kong Ballet. Never encountered in the same way twice, groups of up to 20 people will experience Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth ’s visual and sonic landscapes unfolding before them in a series of thought-provoking otherworldly encounters and intimate interplay, upending our perceptions of performance and the future of entertainment.
Alongside Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth , Hong Kong Baptist University and Tai Kwun present Jeffrey Shaw & Sarah Kenderdine’s eMBody—everybody in motion , which invites visitors into the interactive 360-degree immersive 3D cinema (nVis), dissolving the boundary between stage and spectator. Participants partner with virtual dancers in a responsive world where movement, sound, and image converge around them.
This project is supported by Innovation and Technology Commission of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth is an unmissable next-generation virtual performance experience. Running 57 minutes, the work is designed as a standing experience. Tickets are priced at HK$120 (regular) and HK$80 (concession). Capacity is strictly limited to 20 participants per session, with 5 sessions daily.
