THROUGH YOU

A VIBRANT ATMOSPHERE OF PASSION. YOU ARE MY LOVER AND MY MEMORY. 

This athletically vibrant and sensual experience explores love across a lifetime. Using dance to inhabit a common mortal story of love born, lived, lost, and burned, THROUGH YOU is a live-action VR richly infused with an atmosphere of passion. Dancers Joanna Kotze and Marni Thomas Wood, along with actor Amari Cheatom, take us through the coursing periods of time, from the 1970s to 2046 and beyond, where the question is harbored, “Can love be found again?”

THROUGH YOU exists as a 360 degree installation and as a flat film that repurposes the kaleidoscopic POVs of immersivity into a kinetic experience within a rectangle.
