Summary/Abstract: Jakub Kłeczek writes about Second Body, a performance by the Taiwanese group Anarchy Dance Theater, whose work combines dance and cutting-edge technology, such as motion controllers and generative graphics software. The multimedia dance performance was divided into three parts. The first one was dominated by sound, the second one – by the movement of a dancer in a spotlight, and the third combined movement with live mapping. Kłeczek stresses the fact that, according to the creative philosophy of the Taiwanese group, choreography consists not only in planned movement in space, but also in using computer systems. The reflection on the performance is supplemented by the question of hybrid forms of the human body augmented by media.
