AKMU creates immersive paradise through interactive dancing with audience

AKMU transformed their concert into a "Paradise of Rumors" by leading the audience, guidance personnel, and sound staff in a collective dance. The performance aimed to create an immersive atmosphere far removed from urban life, using sensory descriptions to simulate playing together in a meadow.

The performance space created by AKMU was depicted as a "Paradise of Rumors" that breathes together with the audience. A pre-release video from MBC's Omniscient Interfering View shows the scene of AKMU's concert, capturing how the artists and the audience are connected through music and dance.

Rules of 'Paradise of Rumors' completed with the audience

At the start of the performance, AKMU delivered a message welcoming the audience to the "Paradise of Rumors." This space features a special rule requiring collective participation from the audience: a dance performed together during the show. AKMU heightened the excitement of the venue by asking the audience if they were ready and leading them into a dance following a countdown.

The energy at the venue was not limited to the artists on stage. During the performance, attempts were made to break the boundary between the stage and the seats as AKMU encouraged even the guidance personnel and sound staff to stand up and dance along. This is characterized by a festival format where both the audience and staff participate as components of the performance, moving beyond simple viewing.

Sensory descriptions of a paradise distinct from daily life

The sentiment conveyed through the performance lyrics and on-site messages is that of a "paradise" far removed from urban daily life. The performance speaks of things that can never be seen on television or known in the city, discussing things that can only be understood by leaving those environments. Efforts were made to convey the sensations of the venue to the audience by creating an atmosphere as if they were playing together in a meadow.

Specific descriptions, such as bursting blisters and wrapping bandages, were paired with mentions of foods like warm soup, meat, and cheese, providing visual and auditory support to the sense of liberation offered by the space of paradise. Additionally, expressions such as mentioning travelers show that the performance world built by AKMU was designed as an immersive space beyond simple music appreciation. These descriptions increased the immersion of the performance by conveying the feeling of playing together in a meadow away from the city.
