Production 2019
A human being – Her multiple selves – A digital creature
Myselves is an immersive and interactive choreographic performance which stages a dialog between a dancer and her multiple selves, embodied in an autonomous and unpredictable visual and aural creature, which emanates from her psyche as interpreted by optical and body sensors.
