The screen is a stage. With dancers in 28 squares, Constant Vigier's 28:1 offers dazzling visuals with ever-evolving patterns and formations. One of eight short films featuring innovation in visualising dance - for Dance Passion 2022.

This short film offers dazzling visuals. By dividing the screen into 28 squares, the choreography creates ever-evolving, hypnotising patterns and formations.

Four dancers showcase incredible athleticism and precision, accompanied by an organic and electronic composition. The costumes are simple yet effective, playing with sharp contrasts of colours.

The piece is built in five movements, with each dancer bringing the viewer into their own world, before offering a finale bursting with energy and colours.
