COPERNICUS SCIENCE CENTRE / ROBOTIC THEATRE
VIDEO SCENOGRAPHY & ANIMATED FILMS FOR A ROBOTIC THEATRE SHOW INSPIRED BY STANISŁAW LEM.
A series of 7 animated films (video scenography) commissioned for the Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw. The animations were created for a theatre play “About Prince Ferricy and Princess Krystala”—a live performance where Robothespian robots (by Engineered Arts) become the actors on stage.
The visuals were designed to support storytelling, rhythm and atmosphere—working as integrated projection content for a technical setup combining projectors and DMX-controlled lighting. Renowned Polish actors (including Marian Opania and Piotr Fronczewski) lent their voices to the characters.
