For four days a dreamlike atmosphere welcomed and involved the audience of Staro Riga with an interactive choreography, that interprets the space of the historical building "The three Brothers" courtyard with laser beams and evocative sounds defined by the same movements of the visitors.

The public walks freely through the network of interwoven red lasers at ground level. Each laser beam, when crossed, will trigger a specific musical note of a suggestive set of custom sounds, activating at the same time a laser mapping projection that highlight geometries, details and forms of the surrounding architectural facades.

The spatial audio system will give the installation a further perceptual dimension, bringing visitors into a dynamic and contemplative audiovisual experience that projects beyond the physical space.
