In the modern world, the topics of high technology and future communication between people is being eagerly discussed. Constant technological progress is pushing civilisation forward, but at the same time it can be removing elements of authentic human interaction, unbiased communication and meaningful exchanges in the real world.
During the performance, the audience have an exclusive view of two separate worlds: the physical and the illusory, existing at the same moment in time. Both the dancers and animated characters use the space we build (windows, doors and fabric) to connect the two worlds together. The windows create opportunities for the physical and digital characters to peek through, to flirt with each other, to play and to communicate through sign and body language.
