Into another body
Into another body
“I was impressed especially by the beginning scene, when the dancer becomes two due to an avatar on the screen, playing hide and seek; and for the quality of the dancer’s movements. ”
Into Another Body is an interactive dance solo exploring the encounter between human movement and digital response. Through motion tracking and real-time audiovisual feedback, the performer engages with a shifting digital double—an evolving presence that mirrors, distorts, and extends the body.
As movement unfolds, new identities begin to emerge from this interaction. The boundary between dancer and avatar becomes fluid, creating a space where perception continuously shifts between physical and virtual embodiment.
Rather than illustrating technology, the work inhabits the relationship itself—where intention meets interpretation, and control gives way to unpredictability. Into Another Body invites the audience into this encounter, where the body is no longer singular, but multiple, projected, and in constant transformation.
The work was selected for the Anticorpi XL platform and presented across various international contexts, including Bolzano Danza Festival (IT), Radion Amsterdam (NL), The Garage San Francisco (USA), and Aterteater (IT).
