Summary
Força Forte is a contemporary dance duet by choreographer Gilles Jobin, inspired by the concept of strong force in particle physics.
The piece explores the relationship between two bodies through different layers of reality, using 3D technology to extend the performers’ presence and transform the perception of space. Virtual bodies projected on screen interact with the live dancers, creating a dialogue between physical and digital movement.
For Força Forte, Artanim created 3D body scans of the dancers and performed the motion capture used to animate their virtual counterparts.
The work premiered in 2015 and toured in Switzerland and internationally in 2016 and 2017.
