The Invisible Party is a choreographic work in augmented reality.

There is a party going on in the space, but it can't be seen with the naked eye, only with a smartphone or a tablet. Through your screen you can see 2 dancers appear in Augmented Reality (AR). The dance is inspired by the musical piece Battements by Odalie

The artwork is presented in two complementary forms: a choreographic installation in augmented reality as well as a performance of superimposed realities. The installation is permanently accessible. Sometimes, the 2 real dancers also dance in flesh and blood: physical and immaterial dancers superimpose in the screens.

The physical dancers do something the immaterial dancers can't: they can touch each other, the elements of the space, react to what happens. The immaterial dancers create a new way of relating to each other and to space and time, opening a door to their inner world.

Our work explores in-between spaces, the links between body, space and technology, visible and invisible worlds, real and immaterial bodies. Can a digital world make us more conscious of our human physicality ?
