Lead the dance at the fingertips

The dancer in front is moving according to what the orders of the fingers behind, but actually, neither of the performers see the counterpart's action. The result is a stunning piece of dance, that melts virtuosity and a lot of fun. For sure, this amazing exercise requires a great amount of rhythm and synchronization to make it work. Actually, this photo shows a view that the audience is not supposed to see. The public can't see the puppeteer, but only the shadows on the canvas. This photo was possible, because I was sitting on the far right, just in front of the stage. Taken from "Panorama", a dance show by Philippe Decoufle, one of the most wonderful french choregraphers.
