Tobias Gremmler designed and Fuse* brought to life the digital avatars – virtual characters that performed in real time alongside Vishneva. The projections were vidid and eerie, often mesmerizing the audience and taking away from the lead dancers. Dutch artists Bart Hess, who designed Lady Gaga’s slime look for Born This Way, created textured costumes for the show. They included reflective materials that interacted with the lighting and digital projections. Costumes for the ensemble transformed mid-choreography from angelic white robes to tight red latex, giving an effect of the dancers trying to escape themselves. Edward Clug created contemporary choreography for the Princess, Prince, ensemble, and even the avatars. Thijs de Vlieger, of the musical trio NOISIA, composed an electronic music score specially for the production. 

It was Rem Hass (Director and Producer) who approached Vishneva with the concept for this show. And, though Vishneva is internationally adored for her classical performances, she’s been experimenting with modern techniques and artist collaborations. Notably seen in her CONTEXT Festival in Russia and her recent book, Multiverse.
