Nathan without Title

February - March 2027

The stage play, Nathan without Title, by the Danish playwright Christian Lollike, was a scenographic installation by Aarhus Theater in Aarhus’ Cathedral. For this installation, the actors were recorded with a thermographic camera, creating a real-time thermographic video output. A computer combined the thermographic camera images with written words, words relating to the chemical produced by the brain of a person in love. The computer analyzed the thermographic images and made the movements of the actors animate the words. The computer images combining the thermographic video and the animated words, were projected as a video stream backdrop to the actors on an arch in the Cathedral.
