CODEX ATLANTICUS

Interactive dance performance based on the Codex Atlanticus, probably the most important collection of Leonardo da Vinci's sketches, studies, and drawings.

The project was premiered as part of ExtraSchicht Festival at the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord (2018)

The premiere of "Codex Atlanticus" took place on June 29, 2018, at the Theatersaal der Gebläsehalle in the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord. Max Bilitza was responsible for the text, choreography, direction, and stage design.

The dance performances were executed by Bashar al Murabea, Phaedra Pisimisi, and Camila Scholtbach.

The musical composition featured Rafael Sars, Veith Kloeters, Stephan Möller, and Johannes Wippermann.

Doaa Darwish contributed to the Live Visuals and motion capture, while the Media Computing Group, led by Prof. Ido Iurgel, handled digital media aspects.

Dirk Gelbrich managed the lighting design, and Max Bilitza oversaw the project as its director.

The collaboration was with Hochschule Rheinwaal's Digital Media program, led by Prof. Ido Iurgel, as a commissioned work for Extraschicht 2018, on behalf of Duisburg Kontor Hallenmanagement GmbH.
