THE CHANGE, a rock opera in a virtual world
-
THE CHANGE, is a rock opera created for the metaverse through months of
collaboration by an international team.
-
-
Sundays at 1pm SLT at Benvolio
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Benvolio/107/148/2001
The schedule is a little vague. I gather that the next 2 Sundays are sure:
The following 2 Sundays--Dec. 23 and Dec. 30--are uncertain, being close to the Christmas holidays. The show will continue into January if they keep drawing good crowds. I will carry the schedule in my regular Sunday Morning post if I get it in time.
-
The CHANGE is about the huge challenge and choice facing our world - will we continue
the way we are to one future - with the world destroyed or change direction?
-
The Change is part of the Intergrid Metaverse Arts Biennial
The Biennial Website will show all the events as the full programme develops on the different grids.

The festival celebrates the emerging fantastical and creative worlds of virtual reality. In the hypergridded metaverse, new worlds spring into being, each with its creators and arts. Already avatars can travel between some of these worlds. The IMAB festival calls for all grids to provide hypergrid freedom for our virtual selves to leap world to world! Let the citizens of the metaverse explore, encounter, create and express themselves!

Instructions for the audience
-
This is a show involving 10 performers, many costume and avatar changes, lighting effects and many scripts and particles. Its really a help if they don't have to compete with scripts and prims in the audience.
-
We would like you to enjoy the show and avoid as many technical problems as possible. These guidelines are to help you.
-
SCRIPTED OBJECTS AND PRIMS
Please remove scripted items that are not needed, such as dance HUDs, scripted jewellery/shoes/hair etc.
Many viewers allow you to check your script count. Under 50 is ideal.
-
Please remove prim attachments as much as possible. They affect performance on the sim too. You can check that your Avatar Render Weight is in the green zone [ADVANCED/RENDERING/INFO DISPLAYS/AVATAR RENDER WEIGHT]

The CHANGE is about the huge challenge and choice facing our world - will we continue
the way we are to one future - with the world destroyed or change direction?
- The show uses symbolic imagery.
- The audience is led by a dark and a light shaman into alternative futures.
- We voyage into other realities - into the distant future and into the distant past.
- What have we done?
- Is it too late?
- Shall we awake or shall we die?
