What happens to the creation when it is imagined or influenced by the viewer? Its traditional role of observer is reversed, decompartmentalised. The intention is to allow everyone to take part in a choreographic process, in a desire for the democratization of contemporary dance. In addition, the anonymity offered by digital conversation fosters active and unobtrusive audience participation. What should we articulate through art and movement? What is the purpose of art? Entertainment, an emotional outlet, a reflection of society, a way to change humanity? How to draw inspiration from current events to dance socio-political reflections? The public is challenged to find ways to translate their ideas into movements. The shared creative process makes each performance an instinctive and renewed experience. This constant evolution of Ctrl:N feeds the artists on stage and motivates them to take risks : improvisation at the heart of the performance, immediate use of themes suggested by the audience, extremely quick choice among the proposals, etc.

​

The digital conversation that takes place in Ctrl:N presents many challenges that reflect our current communications. Are we responsible for what we say when we text anonymously? Are we contributing meaningfully or is it just trivial gossip? How do we deal with the tsunami of information we receive? We ignore, we are influenced unconsciously? How do we filter information? In subtext, Ctrl:N brings a reflection on our correspondence in the digital era : overabundance of information, quality of anonymous comments, instrumentalization of individuals by technology, freedom of expression, the body vs. digital.
