Pixel (extraits) - Extracts

Pixel is a dance show for 11 dancers in a virtual and living visual environment. The French artist duo Adrien M / Claire B have created for "Pixel-extraits" an amazing visual scenography, for immerse a group of eleven dancers skilled in breakdancing, body-twisting circus movements, and hip-hop, in spectacular digital media. A work on illusion combining energy and poetry, fiction and technical achievement, hip hop and circus. A show at the crossroads of arts and at the crossroads of Adrien M / Claire B’s and Mourad Merzouki’s universes.

For Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne -you can check below their brief bio, "Pixel—Extraits" is a continuation of an experiment in combining the poetics of the human body with projection-mapped augmented realities to weave optical illusions and new fictions. “Our job is to compose non-figurative stories with abstract, minimalist graphic shapes, using motion as a central writing tool.”
