By turns moving and discombobulating, this “mixed reality” event enables audiences to interact with the work and the spectral figure of Japanese pop, electro and film score composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, 10 months after his death from cancer in 2023.
Through a headset we watch a 3D, digitally-finessed version of Sakamoto play gentle, mournful solo pieces on a piano, augmented by Hallmark-style CGI images: silvery rain, twinkling constellations, vegetal growth, cityscapes.
