per_vilion is a hybrid between a performance space, a lounge, a pavilion and media installation. It deals with “perception” and “pavilion” - and works as a “periscope” - hence the name “per_vilion”. With complex video projections the landscape or architecture around the object becomes visible. There are two conflicting ways to see action - as video or directly. Both types of gaze are juxtaposed in and with the per_vilion. The audience or the performers who enter the space become part of the video image. It allows both, dancers and visitors, to play with their own image. It is a perfect tool for choreographers who want to explore － literally - a new direction in dance - and combine a multi media approach with site-specific relevance.

post theater [new york / berlin / tokyo] has developed a hardware for which it created performances, as well as commissioned others to do so. Several choreographers and video artists were invited to explore the relationship between movement / the body and architecture / cityscape / landscape. The installation allows the video to be in the position of background, underground, foreground and performer - for the human performer to play with in real time.
