Summary:Multimedia dance work. Final work in a series of three by Philippe Decouflé; the others were Codex (1987) and Decodex (1995), set on his own company, Compagnie DCA. Inspired by Codex Seraphinianus (1981), a fanciful encyclopedia created by Italian artist and naturalist Luigi Serafini. The piece employs a variety of inventive costumes and antigravitational devices, which alter the dancers' shapes or movement qualities, add new appendages, and otherwise extend the capacities of conventional dance movement
