Otto Plesner

With a background in theatre and a deep-rooted passion for storytelling, I have worked across multiple disciplines, from stage direction to conceptual development, always pushing the boundaries of how stories are told and experienced.

I founded RenaiXance, an avant-garde creative studio that curates immersive shows and experiences at the cutting edge of performance and technology. Our projects are designed to captivate, challenge, and resonate, working with brands and institutions such as Universal Pictures, World Expo Dubai, and the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.

Our work spans theatre, exhibitions, live shows, and digital storytelling, incorporating artificial intelligence and interactive elements to create performances that resonate on a deeper level.

My journey started in Sweden as a musical theatre performer and burlesque dancer, later evolving into production leadership roles in Denmark, France, and the Netherlands. With a degree in theatrics and leadership from the Danish National School of Performing Arts, I have shaped large-scale productions, led creative teams, and explored the role of AI in storytelling.

I also share my insights as a keynote speaker and was recognised as a Top Creativity and Innovation Voice by LinkedIn in 2023. Whether through live experiences, interactive storytelling, or digital innovation, my focus remains on creating art that moves people and redefines how we engage with performance.
