Sofia, Athens and Amsterdam will connect September 14 in an unseen multimedia live performance game "See you in Walhalla", organizers announced.

The three capitals will get connected for the final phase of a yearlong project iMAP (Integration of Media Arts and Performance) and will offer bystanders and Internet user a new type of entertainment.

This multimedia dance/theatre project, collaboratively created by artists and designers from four different European partner websites in Greece, The Netherlands, Germany and Bulgaria, presents the unusual journey of a video game "avatar" through a haunted urban industrial landscape composed of digital fragments from the spectacle of Europe.

The audience in Athens will witness the exciting premiere of the first live 3D computer game enacted by three dis/located performers simultaneously, with Ermira Goro playing the "avatar" on location in Athens, while Nancy Mauro-Flude and Ivaylo Dimitrov are streamed via web-cams into the game but are located in Amsterdam and Sofia respectively, and watched by local audiences in those cities.

At the same time, "See you in Walhalla" can be witnessed live on the Internet, where online players can log on to offer their comments and reactions to the performance/game.

The event is organized by Athens-based Amorphy.org, InterSpace Media Art Center at Sofia, Amsterdam's De Waag and Interaktionslabor at Gottelborn with support of the Cultural Center of Kifissia and the EU Culture 2000 Funding Scheme

This theatrical computer game explores the "system" of deadly possibilities that lurk in the entropic cities of late capitalism, amongst the facades of glamour, heroic icons and consumer fetishes which, like a dream, do not exist in reality or can fall apart in a moment, setting fire to the outskirts of our imagination or flooding our delusional consciousness, its creators say.
