SIDE(S), Mechanics of the Present develops the vision of the present as perpetual motion of the existing.
How does the present spring from the past? What traces does it leave? Are there hidden mechanics to the present?
PERFORMANCES
Four performances will be given in the interactive space by two dancers and a musician. Each performance lasts about 10 minutes. The dancers dance with the interactive space : the electroacoustic music, images and lights are driven by their movements.
THE INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION
After the performance, the audience is invited inside the installation, which the two dancers and the musician have now left, leaving behind both an audio and a visual trace, which the audience rediscovers in another dimension, as if it were a mark left in that space.
