CLEO

CLEO is a virtual opera where contemporary dance meets creative technology. Built with motion capture and coded choreography, it reimagines performance as an interactive 3D experience set in a Berlin-inspired virtual world.

Five dancers were captured performing distinct sequences, their movements becoming the raw material for CLEO’s digital body. We translated this into an interactive 3D character of Cleopatra, fusing historical reference with Berlin’s raw, futuristic energy. Dance became code. Code became motion.

CLEO is not a recording of a performance. It is a performance that lives on the web, always on, always moving, a virtual opera unlike anything that exists.
