The film is presented across three screens complimented by a 3D projection-mapped set through which the scenes of the film are animated, extended and brought out-of-the-screen to life in the space. An ensemble cast of internationally-acclaimed circus performers, dancers, physical artists, and aerialists perform in this 3D environment, further bringing the film to life through dance, physical theatre and circus performance.
Weaving together all of these visual elements is the atmospheric soundscape of Minima’s avant-garde live score.
