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.
