ISABELLA'S FLIGHT: AERIAL SYSTEM FOR PUPPETRY WITH DRONES

Project description

An aerial puppet show supported by drones

The EU-funded IFL project merges art and technology to create animated characters in the sky. In particular, it aims to develop a display system of aerial puppets through the creation of an artistic performance. The show is inspired by Commedia dell'arte, a form of theatrical performance that originated in Italy, and uses humour, irony, and exaggeration to expose and engage with social issues. The project will demonstrate how puppets controlled by drones could perform a choreographed routine – an innovative use for drone technology.
