VR_I (2018)

VR_I is a dance piece by Cie Gilles Jobin and Artanim. Five spectators with VR headsets move inside a virtual space for a contemplative journey that questions our perception of reality. Blending art with technology, VR_I results from the encounter between Jobin and Artanim’s founders Caecilia Charbonnier and Sylvain Chagué. For the first time ever, a choreographer combines dance with immersive vr in a work that provides viewers with a unique sensory experience. The international cast features American composer Carla Scaletti, Belgian fashion designer Jean-Paul Lespagnard and dancers Victoria Chiu, Susana Panadés Diaz, Diya Naidu, Tidiani N’Diaye and Gilles Jobin.
