The show was the group’s live debut and included projection-mapped visuals and interactive technology paired with original music, as well as mysterious gifts to stimulate curious exploration of a new world. The debut featured the work of computer scientist, Jenna deBoisBlanc, and the musical talents of Rick G Nelson, Eric Bolivar, Trey Cloutier, Matt Cloutier, and Khari Allen Lee. Special guests - A Living Soundtrack.

Luna Fete 2017

Constellations was an animated, interactive celestial skyscape - a cosmic orchestra of light and sound - that debuted at Luna Fete 2017. In this incarnation of the Kirasu universe, participants’ bodies were tracked and transformed into constellations, illuminating the night sky and entangling motion with the stars. The current installation was just one of an infinite number of potential materializations inspired by philosophical musings on the unknown and on what lies beyond.
