30. International Festival of Dance Theaters in Lublin 
Klaus Obermaier Dancing House
Interactive projection mapping and sound installation
Partner: Krajowe Centrum Choreograficzne w Lublinie (National Center for Choreography in Lublin)  Lublin Cultural Center, Lublin Dance Theater

Klaus Obermaier works with projection mapping, most notably not only on static objects like buildings but also on moving bodies. Interactive projection mapping goes beyond the passive reception, the sheer amazement, by creating an immersive and communicative experience. Only through the active participation of the visitors, through their playful use, the artwork comes alive. Passive recipients turn into creative players. In Dancing House, which has had its premiere 2011 in Bad Rothenfelde in Germany, the users are called upon to move, to jump, and thereby – as indicated in the title – bringing the building and themselves to dance. At the International Festival of the Dance Theaters in Lublin Dancing House is being shown in Poland for the third time after Cracow (2012) and Łódź (2015). Since more than three decades interdisciplinary artist, director and composer Klaus Obermaier (born 1955 in Linz, Austria) creates innovative works with new media in performing arts, music and installations, highly acclaimed by critics and audience. His inter-media performances and artworks are shown at festivals and theaters throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America and Australia. Many of his projects, such as the EGO presented in Lublin, D.A.V.E, APPARITION, LE SACRE DU PRINTEMPS, or DANCING HOUSE presented also in Lublin in the public space, are considered groundbreaking and genre-defining for the development of new artistic forms of human interaction with digital systems.

Klaus Obermaier was visiting professor at the University IUAV of Venice/Italy and at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca/Romania teaching interactive arts and performances. He taught as an adjunct professor for composition at the Webster University Vienna and held courses for choreography and new media at the Accademia Nazionale di Danza di Roma. From 2016 to 2018 he was co-director of the Master for Advanced Interaction at IAAC (institute for advanced architecture of Catalonia) in Barcelona. He is invited as a keynote speaker and lecturer to international festivals, conferences and institutions.
