Le Bal de Paris de Blanca Li, an immersive live show in Virtual Reality

An immersive live show in virtual reality.
We invite you to the biggest ball in Paris, an experience created by Blanca Li to make you discover in a spectacular way virtual reality through dance and music.
For an hour and a half, Blanca Li offers a total show, of which thirty five minutes take place in virtual reality in a fantastic, poetic, delicate and surprising universe.
Both spectator and actor, the public is led to participate and dance during the experience, interacting with real dancers.
To carry out a progressive transition from virtual to real world, the spectator is then immersed in a real ball with real dancers. The party spirit and ballroom dancing will be continued throughout the entire duration of the show that gradually immerses the participative spectator in a virtual world.
Built around three grand ball scenes, this piece takes the spectator into the whirlwind of a great love story where the dancers play the main characters of the plot. Everyone is free to dance, to experience the party in their own way and to interact with whomever they wish. An entertaining, fabulous, and totally out-of-the-ordinary experience to enjoy with friends and family.
