«Binary Ballistic Ballet»
Michael Saup, in cooperation with William Forsythe, the Artistic Director of the Frankfurt Ballet, created a stage simulation with monitors that provided computer-animated abstract terms as pictorial improvisation directions, visible only to the dancers. The dancers danced to a digital program, though the audience could not see this. Not until intermission were the latter informed of the connection between direction and performance, abstraction and concretion. The dance piece remained a computer-supported performance, a digital, i.e. binary program, that nevertheless produced no multimedia surface.
