Teatro Cittadella Lugano

INSTALLATION – PERFORMANCE by Marcel.lì Antùnez Roca

Epizoo is an early example of the application of computer technology to the human body and it is based on an interactive system enabling the spectator to control and manipulate onstage elements including Marcel.lì’s body.

By using a mouse, it is possible to activate the pneumatic mechanisms  tted into the exoskeleton worn by the performer, moving different anatomic parts of his body. Moreover, thanks to an interactive interface similar to a videogame, the user can control the lighting, images and sounds of the performance.
