reflections of
the self
Studio Nergens creates immersive experiences at the intersection
of opera, visual arts, and digital technology. With award-winning
VR operas such as Songs for a Passerby and Eurydice, we invite
you to step away from the familiar world. We build 'in-between'
spaces where you can get lost, only to find yourself in a new way.
Our productions are an exploration of how we exist in the world. Are we our bodies, or do we have a body? And is reality a fixed constant, or is it actively shaped by our physical experience of it? We translate these universal questions into a personal journey full of moving music, enigmatic soundscapes, surprising technology, and captivating visuals. This is how we make deeply human questions tangible—and turn you into the protagonist of your own reflection.
