Spectropia by Toni Dove planned for 01SJ 2008 festival

Spectropia is a cinema-scale interactive film/performance event, a scratchable movie performed by video DJs as improvising performers who are playing a movie instrument. This sci-fi hybrid features time travel, telepathy, and elements of film noir. The audience will be able to see through a character’s eyes, hear their interior thoughts, and even talk with the characters. Spectropia is a time travel drama that uses the metaphor of supernatural possession to investigate identity.

Projected on multiple screens and performed as an interactive experience with the participation of audience members, Spectropia will be a fabulous addition to the festival. To find out more about Spectropia and its creator, Toni Dove, visit tonidove.com.
