The Awake

The Awake is an immersive dance VR inspired by the lived reality of ALS. Using the metaphor of a frozen curse, it portrays lives trapped within silent bodies. Through abstract movement and theatrical language, dancers embody the inner voices of patients, expressing struggle, guilt, and longing. Everyday objects – a motionless wheelchair, drifting curtains, a dining table for two, a fish in its bowl – gradually dissolve under the weight of illness. As reality and virtuality intertwine, the work unfolds as a poetic journey between fear and release, inviting viewers to confront fragility, resilience, and the unyielding will of life.
