NYMPHS

NYMPHS is a sensual VR requiem, an ode to those of the female persuasion, whose mind is poisoned by toxic love. Here they become Nymphs in an amorous yet lethal underwater dream. The performance is a poetic study for the stage in three episodes, which examines the insanity of love. We flow through the dimensions of sacral reality, where motives are set up in an anatomical theatre while imaginary characters from legends take us into a scenic dream, “far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, as clear as crystal….”

The theatrical art installation is performed by monumental art-dolls (actroids). The experience ends on ARTSPACEVR PRESENTS: THE POPOVY SISTERS hosted at the ArtSpaceVR virtual exhibition centre, with an innovative space design and a special collection of extraordinary Fine-Art-Dolls designed by the Popovy Sisters.
