VIDEO GAME VESPERS

Sprague Music Hall at Yale

Narrative & Strategy

Video Game Vespers is a live violin concert that uses projection mapping and motion capture, performed at Sprague Music Hall in December 2022. Vespers visualizes the story of the composition by Aaron Israel Levin, which speaks to the use of the violin as a weapon and the demonized, game-like life of the violinist in modern classical music. As the violinist levels up by playing harder and harder pieces to the utmost perfection, she is thrown into an endless cycle of competing, with the sole end game of winning or losing the concert.
