The personal memory of the performers is at the center of this creation: the intimate experience and its collective impact, personal memory of a song and its recycling by medias, our summer holidays and the postcard published to millions copies are all elements that follow the outlines of an individual memory with which we experience an interactive device.

This is a live and interactive performance built from the triangular-performer-public space. An interface, consisting of images and sounds projected on a large screen can be manipulated by a mouse. The performers are responding from the projected sequences which are selected by the public or performers.

A set of rules defined prior to the project closely govern the the construction and the play of the performers. Changes of rhythm, repetitions and lags, induced over the course of the interface, are all surprises instead of a linear narrative. The performance focuses on the incident, in favor of a construction where the erratic sense results from the experiment in real time.
