A CG Projection System for Enhancing Noh-style Live Performances

概要

We produced a stage performance based on the traditional Japanese musical drama of Noh. Various visual images were projected on the stage, and collaborative scenes of actors and virtual actors of computer graphics (CG) were presented, so the roles of the projected images were as important as those of the actors. This paper describes a projection system for controlling the projected images in coordination with actor's movements in live stage performances as well as producing the performance with the system. The creation of CG animation for new presentations that are difficult to provide in ordinary Noh performances is also described.
