UNIQUE
Live performance
Information
UNIQUE is the latest ambitious and ground breaking production from the multi award-winning Creative Director at Satore Studio, Tupac Martir. Based on the exploration between visual identity and words, Martir created a novel based on 12 branching chapters, where there is always a beginning and an end, and by through the choices we make in between define the emotional interpretation.
UNIQUE is a pioneering production, which will be brought to life, and shared within a multi-layered voyage, whereby 4 distinctive types of audiences are able to co-exist and experience this art form from different perspectives. At the very heart of this production, is the topic of what makes us unique.
UNIQUE will enable a new reference point for how we are able to tell stories in new and novel ways. Whilst creating a blueprint for how traditional and contemporary art forms can co-exist in one show, by fusing live music and dance to alter visualisations within the distinct audience streams.

Synopsis
UNIQUE is based on the premise of self reflection and identity. Inviting the audience into a journey of introspection to learn more about their fundamental nature and essence. More than 3000 years ago the great Greek philosopher would have debated the philosophy of consciousness.
Bringing this into the 21st Century, UNIQUE incorporates traditional theatre with immersive technology, defining an innovative approach for people watching both inside and outside of the venue. Bringing with it the creation of a new performance experience – namely Performative-R. Combining live music, dance, set design, AR, VR and projection performances into an emotional journey into one’s own existence.
A conductor leads and sculpts the performances of live musicians, dancers, and real-time graphics into a cohesive piece, uniting the vitality of live improvisation with the nuance of crafted narrative. With 3.2 million possible variations, no performance is repeated, and no experience is ever the same. Every performance is unique.
