The Museum of Life and Death

The Museum of Life and Death

Andy Kirshner, a resident faculty member in the School of Music and Theater, used the University of Michigan Duderstadt Center’s motion capture service to record several movements for his production, The Museum of Life and Death which is described as:

“Set in the post-human 26th-century, The Museum of Life and Death is a radical reconsideration of the medieval Play of Everyman. Framed as a kind of post-human Masterpiece Theatre, and hosted by a chipper cyborg named Virgil, The Museum mixes 3D animation, projected video, live action, buddhist sutras, and original music to consider essential questions of Life, Death — and extinction — in our own time.”
