* Avatar is conceived as an interactive solo dance, taking as reference a rectangular area zenithal projected on the ground scene as an interactive screen. Based on the multiple spatial possibilities offered by one  body in motion and the evolution of this, constantly sending a signal of the position by the captures of a camera to the computer, which will process the data and send it back to the floor by the zenithal area projection to the scenic space in a real-time, so that the body of the dancer as the software created for the project will be in a constant dialogue and interaction.

This piece is in the middle of the real and the virtual, the automatic (scheduled) and the random. Likewise * Avatar has like a dance-conceptual premise the fact to represent (and play) on scene with our own "avatar", which is the same as a virtual representation of ourselves.
