Waiting for Godot
AR Interactive Play, 2023Commissioned work for Lanlanli Medical Aesthetic Center
An AR interactive short play, set in the waiting area of the Lanlanli Medical Aesthetic Center. The work is an adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s classic absurdist play Waiting for Godot, exploring themes of freedom, touch, love, time, and choice through five AR scenes. Audience use their phones to enter the scenes, reaching the virtual space through an "interface" and interacting with the real environment. In this short play, the "interface" continuously poses questions, exploring the relationship between beauty and freedom, the entanglement of illusion and reality, the complexities and contradictions of love, the passage of time, and the absurdity of waiting.
