CAPTURE is a piece which is as much music as choreography as video, and whose interpreters interpret this piece in its globality (dance, music, images) and not by separating the different artistic fields . The final form is as much a concert than a dance piece or even a live video installation. All of it.

All the movements of the 3 dancers are analysed by web-cams and are used as controls for sound synthesis, according to the existing score. So the dancers actually become the musical interpreters of the piece.

The captation of their movements is also used as the controllers for the real-time generation of the projected video - which is another instrument written down in the score, but a silent one.

No pre-recorded sounds, no samples, no sequences - the 3 dancers are the sole musicians of CAPTURE.
