First interactive dance installation of the cycle of art works ANIMO, this art object is set up as a triptych. Three touch screen human size deals with the Animo’s topic guided by the book « the expression of emotion in Man and Animal” by C. Darwin. The choreography is inspired by acquired animal habits that are passed down from generation to generation even though they are useless in new context.
The three digital screens represent three live size dancers that visitors are invited to animate individually or in groups. Touching the screen, visitors pilot the movement of the body’s performers and by doing so give life to them. A gestural dialogue between visitors and performers is established : « your touch is bringing out in us our animal’s origin! Are we existing only because of you and your tribe who manipulate us? Are we all intended to become objects?”
