About the set
The set works as an interactive installation which you, the audience, can access after performance. The set uses lighting and sensors to react to its surroundings, lighting up when it detects noise, vibration or touch.
The two screens display live generative animation which can be interacted with by the dancers and audience. The bodies of people in front of the screens are tracked and drive movement on the screens, which in turn inform the users' movements.
