Nationale Opera & Ballet: Regnum

Regnum, a world premiere by Ukrainian-Dutch choreographer Milena Sidorova, who has danced with Dutch National Ballet for the past seventeen years and has been the company’s Young Creative Associate since 2021. Mozart's Symphony No. 25 inspired Sidorva to create this most recent piece, performed by 22 dancers. The music is both timeless and powerful, and is central to this ballet that is all about human motives and what people will do – both within personal relationships and society as a whole – to obtain power. For this ballet, Sidorova will be collaborating with me as a set designer.  François-Noël Cherpin will design the costumes for this piece.

As a game designer, I translate feelings and information into tangible interaction between a space and the player. I design experiences that encourage players to move, fight, conquer and collaborate. Personal spaces for learning or exploration. And epic arenas for boss fights.

This time, that space was occupied by dancers. And the gameplay was unforgettable!
