Zero Ballet / Windows 2011

“Dear Users!

Welcome at the presentation of Windows 2011! The program is developed by Zero Ballet. In the creating process the designers sought to model an interactive, particularly user-friendly interface in which the user possesses the main role.

Now the program is at Your disposal in order to personally test its creative new elements. Thanks to the newest technical solutions the application is sound-controlled so you can direct it by announcing your commands in the microphone. You will find the commands on the papers handed out. If you have any questions during the test, you can ask the prompter.”

Zero Ballet’s newest piece is a playful, interactive game in which the audience plays an active part in the composition of the performance.

In the name of the company the word "zero" refers to our intention to start from the mysterious centre, as zero is the place for transformation: it is the place where negative numbers turn into positive, night turns into day, virtual becomes real. Thus zero also becomes the symbol of the creating process, since in this process we attempt to reveal something that was so far hidden, we aspire to make a bridge between spiritual and corporeal.
