A multimedia dance performance for one dancer, with slide, film, video and computer graphics projections, lights, original composed music, special effects, moving scenography and com­ puter synchronisation. A lonely man in a big city, both an in­ credible crushing mechanism and a dreaming machine for the human beings. 10 holds several challenges: Creating a dialogue between the artist and the technician. Making the body and technology merge in a multitude of ways without one suppres­ sing the other or, and without enslaving the other for mere illus­ tration. Giving technology the possibility to become the mark and the echo of human beings, amplifying the emotion of dance. Enhancing the use of new technologies for image, light and music processing applied to live performance. So that imag­ inary cities might take shape in the mind and heart of the audi­ ence. So that we might try to answer this fundamental quest­ ion: What possible future for the body in this unavoidable tech­nological world?
