Llontop is a project that centers Quechua voices, employing cutting edge machine learning to activate family heirloom objects using augmented reality with podcast-style audio content specific to the individual gaze of each audience member. The poems are performed using Anonymous Ensemble’s signature “live film” aesthetic with multiple camera feeds, live projections, and a simultaneous live stream of the performance to online audiences throughout the world.
Anonymous Ensemble is a group of artists that explore innovative technologies and performance practices in order to create new theater and live film. Irma Álvarez-Ccoscco is a Quechua poet from Apurímac Perú, a song-poem (taki) performer, a language activist supporting the use of indigenous languages in software environments, a translator and an educator.
