The dancers’ limbs appear and disappear behind a mirror and are lit by different effects: colours and slide projection. The soundtrack, made up of sound effects, and the reflections of the bodies in the mirror, create the illusion.

The dancers’ limbs appear and disappear behind a mirror and are lit by different effects: colours and slide projection. The soundtrack, made up of sound effects, and the reflections of the bodies in the mirror, create the illusion. Fingers appear, followed by hands, then forearms, lit by a red light, giving free rein to our imagination. The world that we are offered evolves over the course of the extract through different rhythms, the use of different parts of the body, changes of colour, projection of patterns, but also variations in the soundtrack. At no time are we allowed to see the dancers in their entirety. Later, it is the turn of the lower limbs, legs lit by projected zebra patterns which transport us into a whole new world.
