When researching media performance, we came across this piece: http://www.wimp.com/bend-reality/. This piece is similar to our performance in a few ways. First, it features choreographed fighting which is a big part of our work. It also involves live interaction with graphics that the performers do not control. This is similar to the way that Azer controls the drawings that Ricardo and Everi only pretend to work on; the dancers in the link above appear to be controlling the light behind them although they really are not, much like how our actors do not actually control the art in our scene. Finally, both pieces use music to convey the mood.

Our project is also similar to silent movies in that it uses music instead of words to convey emotion.
