Paragon is an interactive audiovisual Deep Space 8K performance reflecting on the question of space, light and darkness.
The performance is based on a program that responds to movement within a sensory tracking system. The layers of sound, projection and movement are thus intertwined while the body itself is placed as a medium within a digital and interactive context. The structure of the projected images determine the radius of action and interaction of the performers as the piece tells a story about two characters, the dynamics between them and their relationship to light and to darkness, to be seen and not to be seen. The choreographic, musical and visual elements thereby tell us the story of two avatars who shape their characters in the course of time and finally interact with each other and with their source of light.
