About the project

Zaping Pong mixes dance, slam and digital art while keeping words as active stage material. Text can become rhythm, instruction, interruption or partner.

Movement tracking allows the performers and the digital layer to continually influence one another, so the technology is not simply visual accompaniment but part of the performance relationship.
