Previously unseen, private, uncanny, lurid and strange internal landscapes and dances of dissolution are revealed through an experimental multimedia exploration of the usurpation of the real by the virtual: the body without context. Motion, spatial data-capture technologies and immersive theatre principles are explored using aerial dance, digital art, design and illustration. A complex web of multiple stories,this piece draws on the music of Maurice Ravel, Gaspard de la nuit, a suite of piano pieces inspired by the poetry of Aloysius Bertrand, including Ondine, a tale of impossible desire and necessary death in the meeting of material and immaterial worlds.
