Blanca Li - Le bal de Paris
Description
You are invited by Blanca Li to the biggest ball in Paris! Music and dance merge with virtual reality to offer you an innovative, festive experience. Each member of the audience is invited to watch and also to perform, interacting with live dancers. Built around three great ball scenes, the virtual experience carries the audience through the whirlwind of a great love story whose main characters are performed by professional dancers. Everyone is free to dance, to enjoy the party as they wish, and to interact with whoever they choose. A fabulous, entertaining and totally groundbreaking show to be enjoyed with friends or family, which won the award for Best VR Experience at the 78th Venice International Film Festival.
