Assignment: Graduation research

​

The project: Anthropomorphos: Prometheus is a modern retelling of the myth of Prometheus, the titan who brought fire to humanity, allowing them to grow, invent and innovate.
This modern retelling puts Prometheus gift in a new perspective. Did this titan of foresight really foresee all the effects and consequences of his actions? Is it all turning out as positively as he had hoped?

In this interactive experience, the audience will carry Prometheus' torch and sneak into the realm of the Olympus to steal light from the gods, to bring back to humanity.
As the audience gathers more and more of this light, the light starts to react, seemingly alive, seemingly scared of this visitor. The audience is tasked with gaining this entity's trust. Enough trust to allow them to also capture this entity.

But what will happen when all the light is gone? And is this really what's best for humanity?
