Modular Theatre aims to construct an open and expandable performance system, enabling the audience to easily engage and participate in a unique and evolving performance centred around sound, light, and interaction.

The project explores the interplay between human behaviour and objects to expand the realm of performance. It is formed of a series of modular circuit boards with three-dimensional plug-in structures, which are referred to as ‘performers’. These modules enable interaction in various locations through multidirectional light sensors and lighting, and also contain mechanical units that can interfere with light and sound. Furthermore, individuals can enhance the functionality and forms of these units by utilising a central module alongside different kinds of input and output modules.

Participants can instruct their modules to produce specific sounds at varying light intensities and trigger specific lighting in response to particular sounds. Meanwhile, when a large number of performance modules are scattered in the space, they will perform like a swarm with a self-feedback mechanism.
