Together Meyer, Chaffaud and Graf are looking for an intimate dialogue between dance and new media technology. This encounter of this two universes allows an inovating way to translate ideas and image into a theatrical framework. The result is an intriguing and unique crossover between dance and video.
Isalien
A warrior attitude is developed physicaly with the body in the work with its counterpoint, the acceptation of the manifested condition with the act of surrender and let go the fear of the concept of loss, might it be material or immaterial. This mini journey is punctuated by re-birth, which underline the concept of the phoenix. The piece is developed around these ideas.
The video in Isalien (a short cut of Isabelle and alien) brings into life the décor. The subtle but strong lightning and video projection made by Marcus Graf brings an extra dimension, abstract and narrative at the same time between the original set and the outstanding dancer Isabelle Chaffaud.

dies’.
