"Man in eSPACE.mov" is a performance mixing dance, real-time video capture, 3D computing and multiscreening.

The show explores the relations between the man and the electronic space in an ambitious visual and amazing computer-based visual environment, a contemporary approach as well as a tribute to early motion capture, chronophotographers Etienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge, Bauhaus artist Oskar Schlemmer, and motion picture pioneer Oskar Fischinger.

Listen here to some edited samples of "Man in eSPACE.mov" sonic atmosphere.

Produced by LAB[au] (Brussels, B) and Res Publica (Paris, F).
Performed by dancers Marianne Descamps and Claudia Miazzo.
Sound-designed by Marc Wathieu and Manuel Abendroth.
