Ailuros - Hive Division e inVRsion

AILUROSAiluros is an independent theater company founded in 2009 in Treviso. Its research develops through the language of multimedia theater, the use of interactive technologies and the direct involvement of the public, central characteristics of the company's poetics. Thanks to the active participation of the spectators the theatrical experience returns to be a collective experience of a community. Ailuros deals with immersive projects thanks to a ritual theater: spectators enter a rite in which they make choices and determine the development of their own path, thus determining the performance trend and accepting new rules of storytelling.Since 2016 Ailuros has been working on Virtual Reality projects with 360° videos and is among the first theater companies to create immersive 360º experiences to be enjoyed through virtual reality and stereoscopic visors. From 2015 to 2018 it curates exhibitions and welcomes artists in residence at Teatro Studio of Zephiro (Castelfranco Veneto). Since 2010 it has dedicated itself to projects aimed at retraining inadequate spaces.
