DIGITAL ARTISAN

LLIJUY

Llijuy is a multidisciplinary project that blends dance, parkour, black light theater, light, and technology, all conceived from a reinterpretation of Bolivian culture and folklore. It features three main characters, "El Chuta," "La Chola Paceña," and "El Pepino," who interact within a video game simulation. In this simulation, La Chola Paceña takes control of the situations, showcasing the artist's vision and reflecting the empowerment of women in Bolivian culture.

The light suits are controlled by Arduinos and designed to withstand high levels of acrobatics and movement.
