Onewaytheater.us has been created both as a theater and as a basis and a testbed for collaborative theatrical projects with other entities (The Hub). On this page some of these projects are captured.
In September-October of 2011
traveled to Russia to work on an interactive videomapping score for Alexander Pushkin’s “The Little Tragedies” production at the Satyricon theatre in a camp style. This work involved 3d modeling of a city, automating Maya cam fly-through in Cinder along the Bézier curves, sketching up webgl renderings in three.js, hacking a procedural city, using CUDA and openni framework to produce a realtime human torch, projection mapping of humans using an openframeworks app, simulating a glitchy texture buildup using pixel shaders in Cinder, applying Rutt-Ettra to kinect depth images in Quartz Composer to produce a Stone Guest statue in real-time, sound visualization of the Mozart’s Lacrimosa, and of course, front and rear five screen projection mapping via three 15 000 lumen projectors and a triplehead2go. A very powerful macintosh has been built to support this craziness, which a leading national newspaper Kommersant called “impressive”. The following is a photograph of a scene, in which the actors paint with their bodies in real time a rear-projected picture:
“The Little Tragedies” rehearsal process as documented by Dmitry Moroz can be viewed here.
In January of 2011
produced a sound-based animation and projector lighting mapped onto a moving transformer stage structure for the production of the “Five Nights” by Alexander Volodin at the Moscow Fomenko Workshop Theatre. Polina Agureeva as Tamara. Photocredit: Dmitry Moroz.
This production is a Golden Mask Award nominee for 2010-2011 season (best small form drama production, best director, best actress).
In 2010
was asked to produce an interactive video score for the Anton Chekhov Moscow Art Theatre. Below is a brief account about the videography production for the “Damned and Killed” by Victor Astafiev staged by Victor Ryzhakov in Moscow. Narrator Michael Gusev, who helped at the human motion tracking testing in Cambridge.
In 2009
has been engaged with an international crew on a production of Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida for the Budapest Summer Festival, which then has been transferred to the Csokonai Szinhaz (Debrecen, Hungary). Here is the making-of documentary of this production shot by Vladimir Gusev on the fringes of his very busy time as a lonely videographer.

Post.scriptum.ru is a way to look at our world using theatre as a looking glass. post.scriptum.ru (and its sister post.scriptum.us, a somewhat delayed translation of the post.scriptum.ru from Russian into English) is run by the same two people who brought to you onewaytheater.us
