Abstract:
This paper presents Master and Margarita, an interactive audiovisual project for web and performance adapting Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel of the same name. It aims to address two main research questions. First: how to integrate music and motion graphics in an interactive audiovisual project for the web and performance, in a way that is versatile, easy to use and engaging to experience? Second: how to adapt a novel into an interactive audiovisual project, not only being faithful to the narrative, but also creating a coherent and autonomous work, expressing the artistic vision of its authors? In this paper, the collaborative process between the authors of the project is discussed, as well as their motivations. The development of the project, in its different iterations, is analyzed. Conclusions are then presented, assessing the answers to the research questions. Future work is also discussed.
