2009 . Stage technology
Bruckner himself on stage
The economic crisis last year, triggered by the banks, has of course dramatically reduced funding for arts and culture to a ridiculously low level. Traditional symphony orchestras are being disbanded, and artists are not receiving any engagements. Is it really any wonder, then, that since mid-2008 my appeals for production partners have fallen entirely on deaf ears?
Besides financing my BRUCKNER'S NINTH, I'm also facing a major headache. Therefore, regardless of the costs, I'm concentrating on further perfecting the production with modern stage technology, such as 3D presentation.
Conventional projection technologies like Cinemax are very well suited as an attraction for modern cinemas/movie theaters, but less so for opera houses or theaters. So I seriously wondered: How do you get a sophisticated theater audience to put on ordinary 3D cinema glasses? Probably a rather naive undertaking.
The Eyeliner™ hologram effect, developed in Germany, now makes it possible to experience images in a unique, spatial way, bringing Bruckner and his contemporaries convincingly to life on stage. Various playback options allow for the creation of crystal-clear, emotionally engaging worlds – with film sequences as well as with virtual or even real people.
With this equipment, it is now possible at any time and in any theater or opera house in the world to bring my three-dimensional world of images to the stage together with Bruckner (as a hologram) and his magnificent music.
Now all that remains is to rewrite the script to adapt it to this completely new stage technology, because the realization of a visually quite realistic Sinfonía visíbíle is possible with this holography technology.
Technically yes, but is it realistically feasible in these times?
