GAME ON is an interactive aerial silks performance that examines fantasy vs reality. Guide three characters as they navigate a virtual world full of battles, new adventures, and powerful beings. In their quest for a new identity and a sense of purpose their physical and virtual worlds become intrinsically intertwined. As they explore new facets of their beings the characters grow increasingly disconnected from the physical world, fragmented across planes of existence.

Similarly to a video game, the audience members will be invited to co-create the universe of the performance, thus influencing the characters’ destiny. With the audience as their guide, will the three characters find their way back to reality or will they get lost in their own virtual world forever? 

This aerial dance spectacle displays humor, grace and beauty. Performers will climb, dance and fall through the air on fabric curtains. The movement, lighting and music will explore all dimensions of space, horizontally and vertically, experimenting with archetypal figures, meanings and expectations. 

Kria Aerial Arts was founded in 2020 debuting their first performance piece “Rebirth” in the 2020 Reykjavik Fringe Festival. The company has since grown into a collaboration between aerialists, composer and lighting design. The group is excited to push boundaries by creating interactive live theater.
