A short pre-calculated virtual theater play in three acts, video-mapped onto a physical set. A crowd of tiny characters confronts absurd obstacles in a space inspired by Méliès, Buster Keaton, and Chaplin. Built in 3 weeks as part of coursework at Université Paris 8, the project combines 3D animation (Houdini crowd simulation), video projection mapping, and physical set design. The miniature physical theater becomes the screen for a projected narrative, blending real and virtual spatial layers.
