kotka gudmon: agents / 2021/2022 / director, performer
Hamburg, St. Katharinen Church, in co-production with Kampnagel

The virtual reality and computer vision based performance ‘Agents’ is a suspenseful 6D training for a collective future. Premiered 2021/2022 in co-production with Kampnagel in the St. Katharinen Church, Hamburg.

Working cooperative in pairs, the participants work-out strategies, maneuvers and decisions throughout the hybrid real-virtual adventure and test their belief in their own agency; the 6D training offers a transformative collective experience against the feeling of hopelessness. Between VR game event and detective thriller, framed by electro-jazz, the audience can discover their belief in the ability to act for a collective future.
