Are they mannequins or crash test dummies? Are they mirror reflections or just optical illusions? With their trademark white set, cutting-edge audio-visual effects and in-sync choreography, Sal Vanilla are the ultimate definition of minimalist cool.
Renowned for their artistic edginess, Sal Vanilla—whose name means "zero" and "one" in Latin and represents the digital movement of signals—have been experimenting for a decade with various multi-media art forms to break through the confines of theatrical space. Theirs is a total theatre experience. Sal Vanilla have toured extensively in Japan and enjoyed great critical acclaim overseas including Germany, Australia, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan.
The company's latest work amplified is a collaborative work that depicts everyday urban life and desires. The show combines fluid body movements with video installation of a complex web of futuristic visual, lighting and surround systems. And with various bodily sounds amplified, the audience are invited to "go under the skin" and experience the performance with their own five senses!
