Collaborative playwriting: Liebe in Zeiten des Spätpatriarchats

The play was written with the concept of having projection areas as an additional stage.

I was responsible for the conceptual and technical realization of digital elements. I developed two AI love personas, Calligus and Frigga, which guided the audience through an interactive speed-dating show.

Using the MetaHuman plugin for Unreal Engine, I designed and rendered the digital characters representing various forms of toxic masculinity. These AI-generated figures were integrated into the production as large-scale projections, serving as the “perfect matches” for the protagonists.

Additional projections functioned as a dynamic Bühnenbild with phone screen visuals.
