The fifteen sequences of the performance could be retrieved or varied by the audience in a repetition, at either double their speed or slower than before.
Using a kind of colored score-board, every spectator could also ask questions or request that the performance be stopped.
Five cybernetic, autonomous sculptures danced alongside the opera ballet’s team and the dancers Carolyn Carlson and Emery Hermans, while light effects changed the performance space in combination with mobile projection surfaces, all which reacted to the music by Pierre Henry. To be used when necessary, ear plugs were distributed among the audience attending the premiere.
The two cameras allowing dancers to appear in oversized projections, either in their entirety or partially, also captured Carolyn Carlson’s dance solo which, combined with visual effects, appeared on the theater’s 200-square-meter screen with the help of an Eidofor projector.
