sfPivoine - 牡丹 app for iPhone and iPad

牡丹——为琵琶，昆曲小生与手机而作的交互式电子音乐剧场

作品创作取材自昆曲名作《牡丹亭》。在主体电子音乐的架构上，尝试视觉与听觉的“增强现实”，加入手机应用的观众参与式演出形式。观众下载应用，在演出中，体验“如临其境”的参与感：如进入杜丽娘的梦境，与柳梦梅畅游园林；亦或与柳梦梅一起拾画叫画，见证这一段旷世之恋。

“Love, a spark from nowhere to eternity, life to death, death to rebirth.” -- Peony Pavilion

Pivoine is based on the Kunqu Opera Peony Pavilion 牡丹亭 (Tang Xianzu, 1598). Framed by the operas love storyline, the piece unfolds organically through electronic sounds and the performance of the Pipa and the Kunqu singer. An augmented reality world is created through the smartphones, both aurally and visually. The public is encouraged to interact with the musicians through open-back headphones at several moments during the piece.
