Rôles de Danse is a playful connected dance experience in which each player embodies one of about fifteen roles. The player is coached by an AI, which helps him embody his role and achieve his goal in conjunction or contradiction with the goals of the other players/dancers, thus generating a rich and stimulating dance performance. During the performance, spectators are subjected to a series of challenges. Rôles de Danse is accessible to a diverse audience and is presented in the form of a participatory performance bringing together the public and accomplice dancers. The experience is reinvented at each session thanks to the richness of the roles and the generativity of the instructions. During a brief warm-up phase, each player has the chance to integrate their role before receiving a specific goal. Throughout the session, spectators try to deduce which role each player embodies, following challenges posed by the AI. The roles are revealed at the end of each session. In subsequent sessions, spectators and players switch roles, creating new interactions. During a performance, multiple dance sessions take place (at least two). Each session lasts 20 minutes. Performances can occur in various locations: galleries, stages, public spaces, etc.
Each player is equipped with a mobile device and headphones, enabling them to receive AI-generated instructions and transmit information about their behavior or interactions with others. A sound system broadcasts music orchestrated by one of the roles, the DJ, while a lighting installation is directed by another role, the Magician.
