Planet KK8 is coming to life
Performance immersive (VR in situ)
Information
Claire & Mélanie present KK8, a VR planet imagined as a fragile territory in constant construction, where poor, absurd and poetic forms become spaces of resistance. It is an expanding world, born from a failed Big Bang: a cosmic fart. In this low-tech, radically alive universe, critical thought survives through laughter and subversion. KK8 offers a collective journey through a wobbly, funny and deeply political world.
