ESPAI NO TÀCTIL. Distributed stage (2017 – 2018)

ESPAI NO TÀCTIL (Non Tactile Space) is a transdisciplinary project that proposes a show that makes use of network and streaming technologies.

A research, development and creation process that will be shared with the audience in the city of Barcelona, simultaneously with audiences in other countries and cities.

The Show_

With a variable site-specific configuration, based on the creative contents exploring the idea of a non-tactile space.

Espai No Tàctil will be presented in the form of a distributed performance, understood as the confluence of performers and creators in an asynchronous way in various spaces, connected in real time via the net, and developing in real time a unique show.

A show that is co-created for audiences at a distance, amplifying the idea of ‘non tactile’. Under the generic umbrella of the project Espai No Tàctil, presentations will have different titles, in agreement with the international co-creating partners.

In the stage project ‘Espai NO Tàctil’ for 2017, Barcelona and several cities will connect to compose a specular and diverse show that will change each time it is presented. The audience in each city will witness the encounter of the dance over the network taking place in real time, sharing in the distance those moments in which time and space lose their significance.

The concept_

ESPAI NO TÀCTIL
A stage project with variable configuration and site specific

A fluid entanglement of movements, music and images that are produced in a non-tactile space. A danced encounter of characters that will never be able to touch each other, but will communicate from the distance. Live music and images add to the performance.

A body / tactile space, and a mental / psychological space.
The definition of these two spaces in the shape of a stage set / installation:
– Tactual space (neurophysiological)
– Absence / Unbalance -> another space (virtual)

In Espai NO Tàctil we will put the emphasis on the exploration of tactile perception and the absence of it.
