Theatre and music performance based on the novel “Ingrid Caven” by Jean-Jacques Schuhl and “La Dame aux Camélias” by Alexandre Dumas fils. Costumes Cinzia Fossati | with Verena Bukal, Ali Berber, Bernd Geiling, Christoph Iacono | premiere November 2018
What the press says:
Saarbrücker Zeitung, 12.11.18 “Verena Bukal verleiht der Caven nicht nur darstellerisch eine ganz wunderbare, zerbrechlich feminine Erscheinung, in der doch mehr Stärke und Selbstbewusstsein steckt, als man annahm. Als Sängerin läuft sie erst recht zur Hochform auf. 15 Caven-Chansons darf sie singen, mit genau der richtigen Portion Drama und Schwermut, die ähnlich wie bei Piaf so klingen, als sänge sie um ihr Leben.” …
SR2 Kulturradio, 12.11.18 “Allein schon wegen ihr kann man diesen Theaterabend getrost empfehlen. Verena Bukal gibt eine grandiose Ingrid Caven.” …

How is it done? I asked the World XR Forum in Geneva if i could come over for a couple of hours and play around with an Oculus Rift headset to create a little happy new year video. They were very nice and let me stay the whole afternoon. I drew all the elements you see in this video using Tiltbrush. Then I reloaded the file and filmed with the virtual camera the drawing coming to life. I needed many takes to get somehow acceptable camera movements. I went home, put it all together with iMovie, I published it and sent the link to all my friends…
…2 million people seemed to enjoy it, making this video the most successful thing I did in my whole life!
