YMYI is an interactive installation, where one is supposed to build up a body language dialogue with an artificial system so as to effectively achieve a synchronized performance between the real user's body and the virtual object itself. The artifact aims at exploring a spatial sphere, where the user/performer is invited to develop his own creative inspiration based on his own body gestures and movements. YMYI was born in the Master in Technology and Digital Arts, University of Minho, in 2007, as the result in research and development in Digital Arts.

About Theatro Circo:
Theatro Circo, one of the Braga city's highlights. With nearly one hundred years of existence, the building has recently undergone a profound work of restoration and spatial restructuring that modernized keeping its original character and endowed with one of the most advanced technical equipment in Europe. The Theatro Circo is today a reference in the arts, not just for having one of the most charismatic venues of the country but because the choice of their programming meets the criteria of quality and eclectic, reflecting the strategic objectives that were proposed by the majority shareholder to this magnificent space.
