The company creates augmented reality tours located in real environments: dancing bodies augment the landscape. With their smartphone, the audience makes immaterial dancers appear in the physical world.

Two temporalities then overlap: the present time experienced by the audience, and the time of the dance filmed beforehand. The real environment, the present time, includes the landscape in which we find ourselves, but also the beings and objects present. If someone passes in front of the screen, they will be included in the image.

Relationship to spaces

The company's augmented reality creations develop from a fiction: places contain dances. These dancers live here, in a dimension invisible to the naked eye. They are there, waiting for someone to make them appear.

Augmented reality renews the relationship between dance and landscape. Places inspire dance. Dance gives a new reading to spaces, whether they are everyday environments or heritage sites, urban or natural landscapes, or exhibitions.

The smartphone as an exploration tool

The smartphone is the tool that gives access to this invisible layer, this space between oneself and the real landscape that shelters the dance.

By diverting the smartphone from its usual use, the company seeks to reconnect with the mediating dimension of the object, which becomes a tool of potential resonance with the world, and not a tiny world in itself.

Immersive broadcast mode: New way to understand a show

In her augmented reality tours, Natacha Paquignon offers a non-linear narration that gives an active role to the audience. A treasure hunt in real space that invites them to get lost, to wander at their own pace, to do the tour in one or more times. In a marked and directive urban space, she wants to constrain the audience as little as possible in their choices, and let the unexpected happen.

The creations are designed to remain on site as long as the treasure hunt is present in real space.

Collective experiences of superimposed realities: performances

For the inauguration of the dance routes, or as part of various events, the company creates ambulatory choreographic performances that accompany the creation in augmented reality. These moments offer the public an experience of superimposed realities: physical dancers dance with immaterial dancers. Reality and fiction intertwine.
