  Andersen's tale The Shadow offers a theatrical situation confronting a
Scholar to his Shadow. I program specific creatures that I called shadow avatar
to stage the story with five of them and a physical narrator. Echoing Edmond
Couchot's ideas about virtual people helping human beings to adapt to
technological evolutions, I describe dynamics of coevolution characterizing the
relationship between a director, actors, and shadow avatars during the process
of staging The Shadow.
