Isabelle Choinière: Communion - Le Partage des Peaux II

Thursday, Friday, 9 p.m., Haus der Jugend

Communion - Le Partage des Peaux II, from the Canadian artist, documents the encounter between the real and the virtual body. The performance itself is a multimedia ballet, in which dance movement is amplified through an interpretation by video and computer images. Sensors distributed around the body, on arms, legs and the torso record movement and steer digitised pictures of the dancer onto the surrounding projection screen. With the dancer's ability to change images and sounds, the artist is capable of confronting the actual and the virtual body within an electronic ritual of life.

The presentation of the performance is kindly being supported by the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec and the Ministère des Relations internationales du Québec.

More performances are offered at the STUDENT FORUM
