Business Overview
To date, the performers of "BLACK OPERA" have experimented with numerous fusions of art and technology. Examples include performances using "OPTRON," a homemade musical instrument that emits the noise of fluorescent light discharge; "Alive Painting," which visualizes the subtle chemical changes in fluid materials; and "paper records," which convert image-based waveform data into sound. Each performer pursues new forms of expression based on their own unique technology. "BLACK OPERA" brings together these pioneering forms of expression to transcend existing frameworks and create a new method of expression that could be called a 21st-century opera. The results will be released to the public not only through performances in theaters, but also through online video works, aiming to achieve a perceptual fusion of the two viewing experiences: reality and virtuality. 11/14 (Thu) OPENING PARTY Ⅰ – TALK & MOVIE SCREENING – 11/15 (Fri) OPENING PARTY Ⅱ- MAZEUM meets Unsound- 11/16 (Sat), 17 (Sun) BLACK OPERA – Dull-colored wall / Nibuiro no Kabe –
