This project benefits from financial support by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication (aide à la maquette du DICRéAM (09)), by the Région Languedoc Roussillon (aide à la création multimédia), and from a residency at the CNES La Chartreuse, Villeneuve lez Avignion.
The project is supported by le manège.mons/CECN, HTTP London, Kawenga territoires numériques (Montpellier), ConnaiSciences (Montpellier) and Nu2s (Barcelone).
Technological partner : Théâtre Paris-Villette / x-réseau.

Shifts, interruptions, cuts, flux variations, temporary vacuums and coding errors in and between the images, are the aesthetic materials of the performance that will translate the possibilities and the limits of our capacities to be together in a cyberized environment.

Workshop Huis Clos / No Exit - On Collaboration.
Follow up of the residency at la Chartreuse in Spring 2010.

Le manège.mons/CECN, 11 - 15 October 2010. Presentation October 15th 5PM.

This workshop will be the opportunity to work on the rhythm of performance, on its scenographie, on the place of the spectator, the spectator as a material, and the notion of the actor as an interface. It will also be the moment to experiment with remote participation of some actors, who were part of the project before.

Six actors perform, each in its own webcam station or with a portable webcam station or from home, a performance protocol. The images and sounds of their webcams are brought together in one video projection. From their isolated positions, scattered in space, they share a space of expression and responsibility, a playground, a laboratory.
The actors, on the edge between performance and theater will evolve in an erupted yet shared presentation space, they will work out their privacy in a public presentation space and become manipulators of their own image.



I turn to you

because
I turn to you
Who are you
I think I know who you are
what you want
The calculated movement of your eyes betrays you

Ordered universe
therefore understandable
Is it understandable when it is ordered?
This is not the same thing.
2 + 2 = 4 it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates, it calculates …………… it calculates (repeat at least 20 times, the meaning will change, in French it becomes "butt bag")

It is a convention

I turn to you
I do not know you
no, no,
no

just words, sounds, images ...

In the beginning I left messages on the street
