Finale Auswahl

Cie Gilles Jobin

VR_I

Cie Gilles Jobin

Winner of the Grand Prix for Innovation and the Audience Award for Best Performance at the 49th Annual Festival of New Cinema in Montreal, «VR_I» is a 100% virtual piece in which the spectators are immersed in a totally virtual space. If the sets, environment and dancers are virtual, the movement itself is quite real, thanks to the technology of motion capture used to reconstitute the dance in all its fluidity. Passing through a larger than life desert the spectator will encounter dancers who at one moment appear 30 metres tall and then minuscule when they reappear later at their feet. Through this unique context the piece questions our perception of reality and our capacity to adapt to the world that surrounds us. How do we react when reality seems to demonstrate elements from a dream? A vertiginous and enthralling experience not to be missed!
