The End of the World is an expanded Augmented Reality Walk opera developed for Hololens II by composer Patricia Martínez,  librettist Giuliana Kiersz and director Carmen C. Kruse that reflects on the theme of the world ending through interviews with women from all walks of live and makes the historical unseen visible.

Developed for the public space, starting in the foyer of an Operahouse, 20 audience members go onto an exploratory walk into the city in which they encounter female stories of change and tumult through holograms of singers and musicians.

As a modular production, The End of the world, is unique to each place. It features its own row of interviews and stories that blend into a 21st Century reflection of world ends and unseen changes.
