360° Immersive Dome Projection
As an immersive dance performance, CANAVAR focuses on spaces of fear and dystopia, exploring themes of human-centered environments, pervasive thoughts of fear and the unknown. In a dystopian setting, two creatures collide, explore, and learn to navigate their environment until they realize they cannot dwell on this terrain. These creatures seem like reptiles with strong animalistic movements. Yet their intentions remain unclear. There is a strong tension in the air, but is it playful or combative? Their behavior seems torn and driven by an inner demon. By creating this space of fear, the performance raises questions about how fear is omnipresent in our society and how to deal with it. But what does fear stand for? It illuminates the themes of existence, post-humanism, and the future. Ultimately, the piece negotiates human existence in a metaphorical sense; the two creatures exist only to realize that their existence is in danger.

Moin, hello, selam, مرحباً – I'm Kaya Peters (he/him), a multimedia artist, sound designer, and urbanist based in Berlin.
My work explores the intersections of sound, space, and storytelling, with a focus on memory cultures, postmigrant society, and social movements. Combining critical urbanist perspectives with experimental media techniques, I create immersive experiences that reflect the complexities of identity and collective memory.
I hold master’s degrees in Urbanism (M.Sc.) and Media Art and Design (M.F.A.) from Bauhaus University Weimar. Through my transdisciplinary approach, I aim to spark conversations about belonging, resilience, and transformation in contemporary urban life.
