DÖKK

DÖKK

Created by Italy-based digital media studio fuse*, Dökk is a journey through the subconscious. The performance takes audiences into an endless universe, into a mandala-like experience. Dökk evokes the random, unforeseeable experience that is life itself, looking at the cycle of life as a search for balance between light and darkness (Dökk is Icelandic for “darkness”).

Dökk uses original software to synthesize real-time, crowdsourced data from four sources: the show’s score, the movement of the performer, her heartbeat, and the emotional analysis of what people worldwide are posting at that moment on social media. Thus, each performance is an experience that will not be replicated. The innovative technology, combined with multiple projection layers and the moving body of the performer, create a unique experience for the audience. The production design delivers a stunning 3D illusion, ultimately fed by the collection of data.
