'Bam! Charge' is a performance combining dance, spoken word, physics and mapping. It was created at the invitation of PLAS@PAR, the plasma physics research federation in Paris. It brings on stage research physicists and professional dancers who, through their words and movements, introduce the audience to plasma, the 4th state of matter. Sensors placed on their hands create the soundtrack to the piece, orchestrated live by composer José Miguel Fernandez.
