The PREMIERE project, an EU-funded initiative, explored the integration of AI and VR in live performances. The project showcased a performance where a dancer interacted with AI-controlled lights and sound, streamed live in VR.

In September 2025, a live performance at Porto’s Coliseum theatre in Portugal showcased how AI and virtual reality (VR) can transform live art. The Re-embodied Machine performance featured a dancer interacting with AI-driven lights and sound, watched by over 300 in-person and 200 online VR viewers. The EU-funded PREMIERE project explored these technologies' potential in the performing arts, with positive feedback and promising results.
