transformers 3
The duet performed by Ida Jolić and Marin Lemić examines what happens when the screen and camera become communication tools for dancing with others, as well as with oneself. Making use of smart technology devices and a video-meeting platform, we juxtapose bodies in motion with cameras and screens, engendering a rhythmic
conversation. Technology turns into interactive support in the communication of two bodies on stage. The correlation between the performers’ relationship and the screens and cameras creates a conflict of reality, splitting their relationship, while at the same time flirting with a change of perception of the seen and real. Observing one’s self in the screen, finding the best angle, what is seen and what is distorted, mirroring in the other, and then in one’s self – changes the perception of the body and creates fractured dance of the body and the screen for the audience. The symbiosis between the screen, camera and body produces a connection and interaction of movement in correlation with what is observed. The compact projection takes the view away from the actual performer on stage and produces the absurd effect of watching a projection of a live dance performance.
