Abstract
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.
