Immersive experience

Sama Sama Live

A show composed every night by its audience

Sama Sama Live was a large-scale interactive music experience in Madrid (2014-2015), created in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. It brings together live performance, sound and video art, dance, and custom-built interactive instruments — and each night, thousands of participants compose the show themselves.

Visitors shape the music through sensors, triggers, lasers, light beams, water and other bespoke interfaces. Every event becomes a one-of-a-kind composition made by the audience inside the room.

DNA Studio's technical director Amit Segall served as Head of R&D, leading the development of the interactive instruments, building custom sync solutions for the show systems, and running live technical operations throughout the Madrid run.
