At first glance, 'Pixel' looks like it is a digital dance that lives solely on people's computers. In reality, it is a live performance that incorporates a unique set design made up of projection mapping techniques. The digital dance is made particular surreal through the interaction between the dancer and the projections.
Conceived by French performance artists Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne, who are known collectively as the Adrien M/Claire B Company, the digital dance performance is described as “a work on illusion combining energy and poetry, fiction and technical achievement, hip hop and circus.” The hour-long performance premiered at Maison des Arts de Créteil and stars 11 dancers in total. The digital dance could change the landscape of such performances.
