Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris has opened access to the performance "Acqua Alta" by the French duo Adrien M & Claire B, combining dance and animation in a new work. Director - Muhammad Athama.
Acqua Alta is a story. A woman, a man, a house. A daily routine, absurd and filled with discrepancies. But one rainy day, their life is turned upside down: the rising waters drown their home in an ink-coloured sea. A choreography mixing dance and digital animation from the makers of Pixel.
