FESTEN

TUC TIE Lab Culture

Festen was a stage adaptation based on the homonymous Danish black comedy-drama. The play premiered in July 2019, at the Mikis Theodorakis theater in Chania. Compared to the previous theatrical performance study, the projection study in Festen had a radically different purpose. The visual content on this occasion was abstract and focused on exalting the atmosphere and ambiance of specific scenes.

During the rehearsals, open-source code originating from Google experiments (https://experiments.withgoogle.com/tendrils) was utilized in order to generate the interactive visual particles.Our evaluation process was conducted for six theatrical plays. The participants were over 18 years old, with the average age being close to 40-years-old. The UEQs were administered to the attendants immediately after the play. The variables of Attention and Engagement were studied.
