Myselves

A human being – Her multiple selves – A digital creature

Myselves

A human being – Her multiple selves – A digital creature

Myselves, performance description

A human being – Her multiple selves – A digital creature

An interactive choreographic performance  which stages a dialog between a dancer and her multiple selves,  embodied in an autonomous and unpredictable visual and aural creature,  which emanates from her psyche as interpreted by optical and body  sensors.

A contemplative, metaphysical artwork.

An inner journey.

In touch with the mystery of the breath of life.

Meeting with literature

Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
