Playing With Fire review – like Disney’s Fantasia on steroids as a virtual Yuja Wang plays amid luminous dreamworlds

·The Guardian·Impact 1/5 · Low
MeridStreet AI summary

The Southbank Centre in London is hosting a unique virtual reality installation called Playing With Fire. In this immersive experience, pianist Yuja Wang's avatar performs nine pieces of music, conjuring nine different dreamworlds for the audience. This installation is significant because it allows Yuja Wang to perform in two places at once, a feat that might be a first for a soloist at the Last Night of the Proms. The success of Playing With Fire could pave the way for new and innovative uses of virtual reality in the arts.
