EVE 3.0
© Cie Voix
Six life stories: Désirée, Lohan, Jonas, Fiona, Meredith and Amir, all affected by a strong emotional sensitivity. And Eve the dancer, omniscient catalyst who immerses the audience in these six stories. Through her choreography, Eve identifies and interprets these six states of consciousness in front of the audience: addiction, obsession, jealousy, anxiety, depression and paranoia. She then invites six volunteers from the audience to join her on stage. She equips them with virtual reality headsets with which they discover the story of one of these characters, each sharing the struggle with their disorder through their diary: the discovery of their difference; their powerlessness; then the encounter with a person who helps them to find their balance. In the room, Eve plays with the six participants in virtual reality, creating a twirling, liberating dance. In her performance, she interprets the six stories, also projected on a video screen, for the audience in the room.
