Synopsis
Silent Disco is a technically and artistically pioneering VR-project in which the audience is sent to three different virtual dance floors. In collective isolation they experience a folklore dance of death, a techno party in the elevator to hell and a surreal strip club in the tension between virtual and physical ecstasy facing their own mortality.
All films are shot in an innovative combination of stereo- and monoscopic footage. The project should be viewed in one room simultaneously with other spectators. The audience can choose when to watch which movie and in which order. The viewer can also feel free to stay in the room and watch the other viewers. Everybody will seem to be alone in their own virtual trip, but physically participate in the same party. Through the gaze of the others, the spectators always become actors, participants in a performance. Here the zeitgeist expresses itself playfully in the poetic and absurd imagery of the dancing VR-glasses wearers.
