Nouvelles expérimentations de l'espace scénique interactif

about:
A time, given at the beginning of the show, initializes a countdown. What will happen in the given time-span, will be the result of the audience's intervention on the scenic setting of the performance via a multimedia interface, projected on the back of the scene and from which the options chosen by the audience will take shape.

Like a combinatory game, this space of projection and interaction, of 3+4X3 sequences, examines the relations between scene/space - where, actor/audience - who, and play / representation - what.

In this manner the scene, the actors' performance, the music and the interface constitutebsuccessively a language defining the performance as a trace to be negotiated with the public. The reduction to an elementary scenic language based on its very codes, explores representation according to the introduction of real time interactivity, an inter-relation between the

public and the actors. In this manner each representation constitutes a specific event questioning the modalities of a medium through a hypertextual device.
