It’s for Wings of Desire, a big outdoor spectacular that’s taking place in Victoria Sq in mid-May, that will also feature:

• 2 Faced Dance Company, who are based in Hereford and do amazing contemporary dance/breakdance stuff (have a look at this vid)
• CIRCA, who left me slack-jawed with amazement when I saw them perform at IDFB 2010 (check this out)
• Seeper, who do that cool architectural projection mapping stuff (among other things)

Basically, if this is anything less than incredible I’ll eat my hat.

MANDALA is a unique and bold new collaboration fusing classical and contemporary South Asian dance and music with 3D architectural projection mapping.

We plan to use one of the world’s most advanced real-time tracking systems to use the movement of the dancers, musicians and the audience to generate the imagery live, enabling you to push, pull and manipulate the building.

Which sounds pretty impressive to me. They’re co-producing this with Seeper who are responsible for some of the most impressive projection mapping I’ve seen.

They’re using Wefund to collect donations for the £5,000 required to make this happen. Donations are welcome and here’s a video explaining the project a bit more.
