Licktoad Jubenia is an interactive gothic fairy tale set on an intelligent stage, where the members of the audience are the directors of the play, conductors of the orchestra, and the performers. By triggering invisible infrared light beams that criss-cross the stage, the audience brings the play to life. The characters, music and light changes in the play are hidden about the space and can only appear when the audience activate them. The audience can also kill off a character, music, or light by re-triggering the beam that brought it into being . In this way the play's narrative is always subject to the whim and chaos of its audience - an audience who is in control, yet who must seek to find the invisible keys to the puzzle. The atmosphere is conjured by a landscape of disembodied voices, strange music, light and shadows, suggesting cacophony or tranquility depending upon the number of audience and the tempo of their playfulness. At any given time all or none of the characters and the music may be active. |
