The performance No Leap Is Ever Into The Void is a project that attempts to negotiate questions related to what is visible and what is not, what it looks like and what it is. It is a game between a performer and spectators in which they interact together in a condition of appearance and disappearance of the snapshots of the performer's body in the air. Spectators enter a dark environment and activate it by looking for the points (stars) on the floor, on which are placed distance sensors that activate the stroboscopes. The navigation and the position of the spectators activate the lights through the sensors and control which moments from the constant bounce of the performer will appear and which will be lost in the dark. In this way, the spectators have the choice to make their own composition by controlling the visibility and the evolution of the performance.
