A multi-media performance, Franco-Malian dancer Smaïl Kanouté’s body jerks erratically in front of Antonin Fourneau’s digital “Waterlight Graffiti” canvas, an innovative platform made of a material created from LED lights which light up when touched by water. To the music of Alan Gay and styled by Xuly Bët, Kanouté uses the lights to express emotional vulnerability and creativity.
