For this production Fabien Prioville was inspired by the video chatroom ‘chatroulette.com’. On this site users present their – sometimes radical – ideas during completely random encounters.
In collaboration with Pascal Merighi, also former dancer of Tanztheater Wuppertal, Fabien Prioville investigates the fascination of these encounters. On facebook he invites people to come and join the performance via skype. He wants to create unforeseeable situations and experiments with their unpredictable outcomes.
