Cie Gilles Jobin: Cosmogony

May 12, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$25 – $40

A green digital humanoid form speckled with yellow and blue thermographic patterns looms over a square in a computer generated city. Similar figures and a tram appear at the bottom of the frame.

Created by Geneva-based digital contemporary dance company Cie Gilles Jobin, Cosmogony is a live digital performance in real time featuring three dancers motion captured live from Geneva and screened in real time remotely. The movements of the dancers are captured in Geneva, sliced up into digital ‘bits’ and sent instantaneously through the cyberspace to appear as avatars, on screen and in real time for a live audience, thousands of miles away from the company’s studio.

Throughout the 30-minute experience, the dancers will be revealed in human form on-screen intermittently to give audiences a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the setting.

Program includes live Q&A with Gilles Jobin and dancers, moderated by Weidong Yang & Daiane Lopes da Silva
