In 2021, Jamie xx invited Daphnée Lanternier to envision a new concept for his first festival show after the pandemic, at All Points East in London. She proposed a performance that wouldn’t take place on the stage but within the crowd. Fifteen dancers, dressed entirely in white, were embedded throughout different areas of the audience. Their narrative was transmitted to the main stage screens through a mix of robotic cameras and handheld operators moving through the crowd.
From this first collaboration began a four-year story. The concept evolved, took on new forms, and travelled worldwide. The latest iteration of the show, presented at the Lido Festival in London in 2025, featured a full LED installation encircling Jamie on stage and creating an immersive 360-degree experience.
