STEP CLOSER
a VR docufiction | in development
SYNOPSIS
In the documentary XR performance STEP CLOSER, the audience itself becomes the performers, immersing themselves in the personal memories of refugees and border guards. Both sides have experienced physical and psychological borders – now they encounter one another. What remains of these experiences? What is happening in the moment of the encounter? The directing duo TÒ SU – Martina Mahlknecht & Martin Prinoth, scales the European debate on security and demarcation down to the human dimension of personal fates, inviting the audience, in an immersive setting, to take an interactive stance.
