New York, NY (November 23, 2021) – On December 16 at 7pm EST, 4-VU.com is thrilled to activate its new live streaming capabilities with a special performance by Kid Koala that will feature the world premiere of an exclusive mixed reality video creation, Four Stares – produced in collaboration with the expertise and ingenuity of Montreal new media studio Silent Partners. Among the first productions of its kind produced in Montreal – using the novel mix of virtual and real videography that characterizes the XR genre – Four Stares introduces new characters from Kid Koala’s already bustling universe of creatures and personalities. A galaxy of cardboard cut-out, hand-drawn cartoon objects and personas dance through impossible landscapes, soundtracked by music from this new cast of groovy-beings.
Known for their cutting-edge performance tech, including live broadcast XR shows by Billie Eilish and stadium-sized videography for Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and a Super Bowl halftime show, Silent Partners developed Four Stares in close collaboration with Kid Koala’s vision and signature aesthetics.
Kid Koala’s Creature Feature is a 30-minute, interactive, hosted romp – a needle drop through unreleased forthcoming tracks; an unveiling of Creature Corner puppet shorts with AMA (ask me anything) segments, with at least one of these emerging creature luminaries; an International Staring Contest (eye-sports) for those who tune in live, with unique prizes for winners. Plus the Four Stares video world premiere embedded in this cavorting cabaret of multimedia mayhem.
Open to all ages and accessible as a pay-what-you-can stream—premiering live at 7pm EST, Thursday, December 16, the whole show will remain online for 48 hours after broadcast. Tickets available here.
