Performance Photography: Carry Me Home 

The first cross-reality live circus with motion caption

Performance Photography Circus Arts

Shocap Entertainment and The 7 Fingers present Carry Me Home—a live and virtual journey into the creative mind of singer-songwriter Didier Stowe.

The show blended music, circus, dance, and theatrical performance with real-time motion capture, virtual reality, and gaming technology. It celebrated the mind’s extraordinary ability to imagine, dream, and create—a uniquely human trait that unites us all.

One day, two onstage shows, with an interactive live stream from the renowned Animatrik Film Design studio in Burnaby, Vancouver.

In-person attendees accessed VR headsets for immersive virtual interactions during the show, while online viewers watched the stream or explored the virtual arena from multiple perspectives, even through the performers’ eyes.

Performance Photography and Motion Capture

Scopo Photography was honored to provide performance photography and document this ground breaking production. I was able to witness the collaboration of a visionary team of producers, videographers, motion capture specialists, and animation artists—all pioneering the integration of cutting-edge technology into performance art.
 

This project was not just a creative endeavor but a profound learning experience, pushing us beyond traditional movement and photography into a bold new world of hybrid storytelling. Carry Me Home challenged us to rethink the boundaries of live performance, blending physical artistry with digital innovation to engage audiences in unprecedented ways.
 

As the first circus performance to utilize a 4-Audience Model, the show redefined what musical circus can be in the metaverse—seamlessly merging live spectacle with interactive virtual experiences. The dreamlike visuals and dynamic acrobatics were amplified by motion-tracking technology, delivering two distinct yet synchronized shows: an electrifying stage performance for in-person viewers and an immersive VR livestream for digital audiences.
 

For me, this was more than a production—it was a masterclass in the future of entertainment. I was able to document how technology could deepen emotional connection, expand accessibility, and transform passive viewers into active participants. By stepping into this uncharted territory, I witnessed firsthand how performance art can evolve, breaking free from physical stages to resonate across multiple dimensions.
