Alpha, conceived and produced by the fabien prioville dance company, sends visitors on a kind of gaming parcour. The performance installation is an experimental set-up that deliberately leaves room for the element of chance in order to offer the audience the opportunity to independently explore the performative space.
Developed together with the team from LavaLabs and the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf, Alpha begins as a freely downloadable app that successively turns the visitors’ private smartphone into a kind of natural extension of the body.
The app invites a playful exploration of the space, during which visitors are asked to collect parts of a code using their private smartphones in order to gain access to an additional room at the end, where a “performative reward” awaits.
