Immersive mixed-reality installation
The classical recital, reinvented through mixed reality. Inches from a real Steinway piano, the audience experiences an intimate performance by Yuja Wang — from Bach and Chopin to Debussy, Prokofiev and Stravinsky — moving freely through eight tableaux that transform as the program unfolds.
Captured in volumetric video, Yuja Wang appears as a hologram while a Steinway Spirio replays her interpretation live, note for note — down to the movement of her fingers. An olfactory score by Francis Kurkdjian accompanies each chapter, beneath Murano glass lamps. A collective, free-roaming experience, up to 40 visitors per session.
