Talpa announces the launching of the brand new and revolutionary talent show "Avastars" for SBS6 in The Netherlands.  The program combines groundbreaking with top talent and it will be launched next year.

In the new, next-level talent show "Avastars" the real and the virtual world are spectacularly combined. With the latest motion capture and augmented reality techniques, a singing talent and a dancing talent will be transformed into one virtual super talent: an avastar who dances and sings. “Avastars” will be broadcasted by SBS6 early next year.

In “Avastars”, great singing and dancing talents will be combined into duos. With the help of both programmers and stylists, each duo creates their own avastar. The avastars they create may represent humans or even animals. From gender, body shape, hair and skin color to clothing style and makeup: the duos get to decide it all themselves.

The singing talent is responsible for controlling the avastar's facial expressions and voice. The dancing talent wears a special suit to control all the movements of the avastar’s body and head. What we see is an avastar who sings and dances like the real thing but who only truly comes to life when both disciplines perfectly complement each other during the LIVE performances. Besides singing and dancing, the avatars must also be able to talk and show off their winning personality whenever they're interviewed by the host and the jury.  

During a series of audition and elimination rounds, this jury, led by a successful DJ or producer, will judge the performances. He will also go on to produce the first single and music video of the winning avastar. “Avastars” combines the best of both worlds. The show is the result of an intensive collaboration with NEP Group.
