Performing Austria & Romania, the dialogue of performing arts from the two countries
The exhibition „Only violins left – Alma and Arnold Rosé” is accompanied by an extended presentation of the development of the VR project HUMAN VIOLINS PRELUDE, written and directed by Ioana Mischie.
HUMAN VIOLINS PRELUDE is an interactive VR project about the transformative power of music in the darkest of times. It has been selected in the first Cannes Immersive competition, being considered one of the eight best immersive projects worldwide in 2024. It amounted to three years of immersive work, also being the first VR co-production between Romania and France.
Conceptually speaking, the immersive project is inspired by a true fact: during the Holocaust, Jews were allowed to choose only one object before being sent to the concentration camps, and many chose the violin. HUMAN VIOLINS PRELUDE follows the fictionalised story of a girl named Alma who is passionate about the sound of her violin, the audience being given the opportunity to carry on the legacy of her music.
