Country:
France
Project type:
Immersive collaborative,
multi-user dance experience
Description:
Two life stories: Fiona and Lohan, both affected by strong emotional sensitivity. And the dance, an omniscient catalyst that immerses the audience in their story.
Through her choreography, the dancer identifies and interprets both Fiona and Lohan's personality disorder.
Then, she invites six volunteers from the audience to join her on stage to take part in the show.
Equipped with virtual reality headsets, they discover Fiona and Lohan's story through the reading of their diaries, from teenage years to today's adulthood with the meeting of a person who helps to find their balance in life.
By playing and twirling with the participants in VR, the dancer creates a liberating dance, inviting the audience present in the room to join, liberating the bodies.
