Sven Ortel

Multi-award winning show with Simon McBurney's world-renowned company complicitè. A story about infinity, mathematics, life and death. 
Projections were used throughout the show to define locations and define the space in surprsing ways. In addition to that the imagery provided a visual reference to the beauty of pure mathemeatics and how our world and lives are intertwined with formulas if looked at from the point of view of a mathematician.
Originally opened at Theatre Royal Plymouth, UK in April 2007.  Toured worldwide, including Barbican, London and Lincoln Cenntre Festival, New York and India. Watch the trailer here
Original imagery is projected on multiple surfaces from the back, front and top. It's scaled and coloured to integrate with the set and lighting design. A combination of abstract and scenic imagery is mixed with live camera feeds to support the narrative.
