Gameplay Level2

 Interactive choreography.
An eutopia* for two human beings immersed in a milieu with complex  rules, which emphasizes the power of a relationship dealing with outside  and inside authority. 


*Eutopia is the neologism invented in 1516 by the English writer Thomas  Moore in his book The Utopia which gives its name to the Imaginary  island. Different from utopia whose privative prefix u and the radical  topos mean ” a place that does not exist”, different from dystopia whose  prefix mean “bad”, eutopia is constructed with the prefix eu-, which  means « a place of good ».
