Cosmogony – Live remote digital performance (2021)

PRESENTATION

Cosmogony is a live digital performance in real time featuring 3 dancers being motion captured live at the #Studios44MocapLab in 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. 

Cosmogony opened in 2021 at SIFA festival in Singapore, and was selected for the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. The piece is currently  touring internationally without traveling  #tourwithouttraveling and has already been screened live from Geneva in 10 cities, 8 countries in 3 continents.  Cosmogony won Most Innovative Use of Technology award at  Filmgate Festival Miami 2022.
