Dentaxuvia is an expanded reality (XR) project, by Los Angeles based artists Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou and Huntrezz Janos, that blends performance, games, augmented reality, interactive sculptures, and poetry, in a science fiction visual explosion, complicating the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible. It began as a mixed reality live performance, which premiered at REDCAT Disney CalArts Theatre in 2023.
For their first solo show as a team, Antigoni & Huntrezz transform their theatrical performance into an interactive installation, inviting the audience to inhabit their environment, interact with their augmented reality avatars, and play their video game – assuming the roles of characters within the Dentaxuvia narrative, making each playthrough a unique performance.
The result is an act of queer resistance that takes audiences on a supernatural journey, igniting the belief that anyone can shed old skins and reclaim agency in the face of oppressive regimes.
