Description
Performers interact with images and sounds and manipulate four mobile projection surfaces, orchestrating a set of changing architectural constructions. Spectators circulate freely like visitors to an installation, accessing multiple points of view of transparent layers of images. The entire space is transformed into a sort of organism, made of the augmented performers’ bodies, re-combined with the moving stage elements. Physical intertwinement of performers and spectators shapes a kind of choreography/sociology of the crowd.
