Sankari Show
live talk karaoke
Sankari is an improv show offering people a fun way to perform in front of an audience. It is a combination of karaoke, drama and video game. It's a participatory interactive video show about Elias. Elias is quite a nice guy, but he is not able to speak. So he is a little bit helpless on his own. Actually, Elias is speaking, but we have taken away his voice. That is the genius of the show. People from the audience have to give Elias their own voice. What they say defines his future.
“Sankari” is the Finnish word for a hero. It also means the main character in a story. The format is based on interactive scenes where the participant improvises with virtual characters. The scenes consist of small video fragments. We listen to the improvisation and choose how other characters react by showing different video clips. The story can develop in many directions depending on the performance. A step-by-step guide.
