DARV_ Abandoned Land is an intermedia dance performance, which sprouts connections between analog and digital. The performers interact with large-scale objects and video projections, resembling the endless migration from one world to another in search for the better. The DARV team and eight dancers perform in various locations in Austria, South Korea and Bulgaria, guiding the audience through dystopian realities and abandoned sites. Drained-off utopias, failed social mechanisms and ideologies are embodied, explored and ultimately abandoned.
Conditioned by enforced changes along the work process, the project has naturally become a response to the present world situation, its limitations and possibilities.
DARV is a series of projects conceived by an international team of artists and interaction designers based in Austria. Contemporary Dance, Site-specific Installation and Video Art are connected via technology into Mixed Reality experiences, interlacing real and virtual realms.
