Gilles Jobin

A round trip from Paris to Geneva via cyberspace: from Geneva, three dancers direct the movements of their avatars, who will perform in Paris in front of you. A revolutionary digital performance and a spellbinding journey beyond reality.

Live, yes, but from a distance. With the real movements of his dancers on the screen, captured in the studios of his company in Geneva and immediately rendered via three avatars, Gilles Jobin offers the Parisian public an extraordinary sensory experience. His digital show, halfway between performance and 2D projection, merges in cyberspace the dynamics of the bodies and their digital image, as if the former were moving the latter like puppets. Whether they are tele-transported in the cosmos or in the heart of a virtual city, the characters of this suspended universe defy the laws of physics. To the powerful beats of the rock band Tar Pond, a new choreographic and digital space is created before our eyes in real time. The world of tomorrow.
