Forecasting is based on a collection of amateur videos taken from the world's largest video-sharing website: YouTube.

On stage, a performer skillfully manipulates a laptop which shows videos selected to correspond to a human scale. The result is a dizzying hybrid experience, blur-ring the lines between the banality of everyday situations and new modes of narration.

Charlotte Le May is an acrobat, dancer and actress from Montreal. She’s been living in France for ten years, where she completed the professional cursus of circus school Le Lido de Toulouse, specializing in handbalancing. She then collaborated in spontaneous creations in Europe with Cirkus Cirkör, Kiaï and Cridacompany. Aside from her work with Giuseppe Chico and Barbara Matijevic, she’s currently working with the Subliminati Corporation.

Giuseppe Chico studied ancient languages and started working in theatre at an early age. After studying theatre in Rome and Milan, he moved to Paris in 2000 and began to train in con-temporary dance with Joao Fiadeiro, Vera Montero, Julyen Hamilton, Mark Tompkins, Vera Orlock, Pooh Kaye, K. J. Holmes, Olivier Besson.
