This is an expressive live video concert-performance conceived by a group of artists in various disciplines that sits somewhere between film-making, theater-dance, digital art and experimental music.
"From Barcelona, aerialist Maite Sanjuan will perform her mix of street theater and circus performance, a unique blend of acrobatic technique using fabric, rope, fixed and flying trapeze, theater and dance. For tonight's performance she is working with Laia Cabrera a filmmaker and multimedia artist who lives and works in NY City, Brice Malahude, an experimental sound designer from Paris, France and Isabelle Duverger, a live drawing artist from Paris, living in NY City."

Concept:
"Our space" is visually designed to expand and refract literary texts, weaving disparate sources and forms into a seamless theatrical whole between all performers. The show is partly improvised, fusing electronic music with visuals created using both traditional techniques and digital technologies. Using highly unique and unusual setups, the visual artists may be following the music or creating a separate line of parallel play with the aerialist, to be viewed by the multi-tasking mind of the late 20th century viewer.
