IN MEDIA RES
Yoda wakes up in the middle of a factory, at the foot of a monolith that reflects his silhouette to infinity.
Gradually, he monopolizes this reflection of himself, in which he will revolve around him, where he will end up diving.
It will come out doubled, it exults, spins, quadruples, a hundredfold, in all possible directions, to end up doing a big turn on itself and regaining its original state.
After this introspection, he leaves serene.
Danced performance in front of a led screen, a 6m by 3m monolith which broadcasts what the camera is filming, to create feedback.
The performance is filmed in a single sequence shot, without special effects.
Everything is created live, including the "mirror" mode at the end, like the old Hi8 cameras.
The director composed the music beforehand, to inspire the dancer and orient him to his dance style.
The narration, the axes of the choreography and the different positions of the dancers were thought out by the director, anxious to control the shots and the resulting feedback.
The dancer composed a choreography in detail, with his approach and style, inspired by conversations with the director about the intentions of the different stages of the film's narration.
