Aera

Dancers: Alina Lugovskaya, Zhuojun Li
Cello: Juan Lopez Cuamatzi
Visuals & Sensors: Camilla Scholz, Lucia Claus
Photography: Emma Silvana Tripaldi

Aera is a journey through breath. This performance brings together dancers, a cellist, and visuals, all connected through breathing sensors that shape the environment in real time.
Through three acts, the story unfolds: the struggle to synchronize, the tension of failed connection, and the eventual harmony found in shared breath. As the visuals shift from chaos to clarity, Aera explores how the act of breathing can guide interaction and create moments of connection.

The Sound I’d Like to Wear is an interdisciplinary project of the Anton Bruckner Private University and the University of Art and Design Linz.

Students from various degree programmes (Fashion & Technology, Postdigital Lutherie, Interface Cultures, Institute of Dance Arts) are exploring costume development, sensor technology, music and dance. Costumes become performative instruments that are transformed into sound and visuals through the movements of the dancers. The resulting media and dance collages will be presented that evening in a joint performance in Deep Space 8K.
