Summary/Abstract: The article examines the spatial transformations of site-specific performances (Suspended,Flow, Imponderabilia) performed by Performative Duo Eve Janicka and AgataElsner considering them in terms of multi-sited mise-en-scène and extended spacearrangement. Each of these performances, embracing two parts, showed in the newlight both the gameplay with an audience and the specifics of spectacle based on reframingby aesthetic strategies of jamming sound and picture in a multi-sited staging. The duality of performance based on the game with symbols and colors, as well asthe manipulation of voice and image contributed to creating an augmented dimensionof staging by blurring the division between the private and public spheres. The dialoguebetween both artists and spectators and between forms of expression, reflectedthe relevant phases of their social experience and shaped their new face in a digitally transformed audiovisual form.
