HOME_2nd pov

HOME is an immersive performance that merges live theatre with digital space, exploring themes of intimacy and proximity through the viewer's perspective. Set within a domestic living room, it follows the everyday life of two individuals, offering the audience a choice between two distinct points of view of the same performance. The selected perspective shapes the viewer's focus and interpretation, influencing how the story is experienced and understood.

Director Statement

Giulia and Giorgia met at the University of Turin during a PNRR research project focused on a VR experience involving a virtual world and motion-captured characters. At the time, Giorgia was already exploring the relationship between movement and 360° camera work. Building on Giulia’s PhD research in performance and live cinema, their collaboration merges live performance, interactive streaming, multicam setups and VR technology to challenge the boundaries between physical and virtual presence.

The project begins as a live performance in which the audience is physically embedded in the scene, experiencing the action in close proximity to the performers. From there, the research is developing into complementary formats, including an interactive live stream that allows viewers to switch between camera angles and construct their own narrative and a 360° VR version designed for remote viewing. This layered approach enables multiple modes of spectatorship to coexist (live, online, and immersive) each offering a unique way of engaging with the performance.

The 360° film experience, in particular, aims to recreate the presence and perspective of the live audience, offering an intimate and personalized encounter with the piece. Through this hybrid structure, the project wants to explore new forms of embodiment, presence and storytelling. We submitted two versions of the same film with the intention that two users can experience it simultaneously from two different perspectives. This version (view from the dining table) is meant to be watched while seated, in order to match the camera’s eye-level perspective.
