Half Life VR – Short Version

Half Life VR is a Virtual Reality short film capturing the immersive spirit of choreographer Sharon Eyal’s dance work Half Life performed by the Royal Swedish Ballet. The short is a coproduction between the Royal Swedish Opera and Robert & Robert Studios. The VR production is inspired by 3D dance films such as Pina, aiming to present a uniquely immersive and artistic experience. It’s a legend. A sharp projection of language, movements and formulas of the soul. It’s a marble arrow being fired at a shivering audience from the end of a corridor. This creation is monotonous with an angle. “It can be good friends under your feet and bad people in your hands”.

For a long time everyone wanted VR, but weren’t prepared to dive into a VR project. The Royal Swedish Opera proved that they are cutting edge. Together, we transformed an ancient art form into a VR piece unlike anything ever made. Traditional rules of filming don’t apply anymore. You’ll feel the characters in a way not possible in a theatre or on TV.
