SOKKYO

SOKKYO

______We created the Sokkyo show together with Brodas Bros, designing it exclusively for immersive spaces with 4-way projection on walls and floor, where the audience is distributed throughout the space, becoming part of the experience.

The word "Sokkyo" comes from the Japanese term for improvisation and represents the unpredictable twists and turns of life. A simple starting point can evolve into something complex and intricate, or conversely, what seems complicated at first can resolve itself in a surprisingly simple way.

Thanks to the technology we use in this show, "Sokkyo" becomes a game of improvisation and free dance. The projections are created in real time, bringing a sense of magic and risk to every performance.

Simultaneous actions define this project. What happens on stage is the result of collaboration between a septet from Brodas Bros—Berta and Clara Pons, Marc Carrizo, Hèctor Puigdomenèc, and Pol and Lluc Fruitós—and us, Tatiana Halbach and Søren Christensen from Desilence. Together, we’ve crafted a piece where visual interaction and dance coexist seamlessly, inviting the audience on an abstract and personal inner journey. Each part of the show expresses a natural state, starting from different points that trigger specific actions and interactions.

The journey from one point to another is filled with unexpected emotions, waiting to be discovered. Our collaboration with Brodas Bros began in 2015 thanks to Adidas and Messi, but our partnership truly flourished with our previous work, Around the World. This piece, nominated for the Max Awards for Best Dance Show and Best Lighting, was a meticulously crafted exploration of memories and experiences across different countries. It was precise, technical, and driven by advanced technology.

With "Sokkyo," however, we wanted to step away from the structured and pre-planned approach of Around the World. Instead, we embraced the present moment through improvisation and play. The live aspect, combining VJing and dance, ensures that each performance is unique, with its own personality, moving far from the concept of a canned show.

In this show, we go beyond using technology as a content creation tool. Motion sensors become creative instruments that allow us to play and enjoy the moment. This freedom from pre-rendering and spatial markers gives us the ability to move spontaneously and create in real time, making every performance a celebration of creativity and immediacy.
