Robinson Crusoe is lost in no human landscape until the encounter with the other prepares him to a total reinvention of itself, as in the novel by Michel Tournier, Friday or limbo Pacific. Similarly, the choreography is especially an act of learning with respect to an out of which make unremitting experience. The dance is defined as such when it allows another dance to exist in the vicinity, so it is simply a language adopted by the meeting, which keeps alive the moment of encounter. The choreography is all here, in anxiety measuring machine / metric that comes to terms with the necessary space to the other’s body.
