The Light Concept:

• Theatrical light design of each scene
• Representation of the virtual actors by light cones
  
  • Position of the virtual actors represented by the position of the light cone
  • Emotional state of the actors represented by the color of the light cone
• Odysseus leads the light cues on each venue

The Realisation:


• Definition of the light cues during rehearsals in Vienna (with all the actors on one stage)
• Usage of local light systems for theatrical light design
• Adaption of the light cues to local stages
• Addition of six headmoving lights to the local light systems
• Position of the real actor is sent to all the other venues
• Emotional state of the real actor is sent to all the other venues

The Technics:


• DMX 512-Protocol for usage of the headmoving lights
• RS 232-Protocol for the representation of the emotional state, using medical sensor technique
• Ethernet-Protocol for linking to the ISDN-lines
• 1 light desk Ethernet protocol per venue
