< two blind puppets

_Project develloped during beyond the screen in Paris, taugh by Eliso Co, assisited by Sitraka Rakotoniaina.

The 2 dancers are "blind", head inside a helmet. 1 is a light emitor, the other 1 has a light sensor. The system is controlled by a micorchip BX24 (bakground img).

The public controls the light emission with a simple switch. When the switch is ON, the light gets ON, and the closer the 2 dancers are, the stronger and higher the sound is emited by speakers inside the helmets. The 2 dancers can define each others position and dance together only according to the sound, which is swiched ON or OFF by the public : the public by playing with the rythm (making light and music) participate actively into the dance, and the public does also the light design of the performance.

It's a game of rythm, manipulation and erotism : how a performance that is supposed to be a duo becomes a trio, involving the public playing dancers almost like puppets or avatars.
