A fast and furious road movie combining DIY, digital tools, live performance and precise choreography. 

Space is the movie is a film and theater performance by Amandine Lécuyer exploring live cinema and ‘beyond the 4th wall’ filming. In her live performance, she brings together the making of cinema, theater in a captivating, creative and humoristic way. On stage, around her production table and equipped with her 3 cameras, Amandine performs a choreography that is as precise as it is curious. With ingenuity and simplicity, she makes a road movie in front of your eyes through 15 different sets imagined in a language of do-it-yourself. She demonstrates an impressive resourcefulness in finding ways to create the scenes with daily life and recycle materials. Behind her, an assistant edits the scenes and projects the film while it is being performed.
