Here we are…! After our workshop week in Mains d’Œuvres (Saint-Ouen, Fr) for the new version of our show Kadâmbini, here is the new teaser in LIVE, directed by François-Xavier Dubois…! Hope you will enjoy this teaser !

We take the opportunity to inform you that we will play Kadâmbini at the 11′ in Mains d’Œuvres (Saint-Ouen, Fr) this Saturday, December 17. Of course, you can’t miss the other shows during the night ! More about this crazy night here.

Another time, another place. We will also play our show on the 28th of December in a beautiful place; l’Espace Culturel Les 26 Couleurs in Saint-Fargeau-Ponthierry (Fr). More.

Bart, Alexandra and Charles have worked on the scenography of the drama Astrée X written and staged by Gildas Loupiac, for a creation freely inspired by Terry Gilliam…

It’s a scenography made of video mapping, with sounds, lights and videos interactivities. To be completely free in following the actors, I’m using several software, such as Live, Modul8, MadMapper and Max (for the special Monome Module), and make them works together.

Astrée X
Frédéric never leaves home and never sees anyone. He has a telecommuting work and when he needs something, it is delivered. His everyday life, immutable, seems written in stone… Until a mysterious girl burst into his life…
The play, between utopia and science fiction, is asking for the place of the other when the technology is building is own reality, between us and the world, when virtuality comes true.
The scenography was designed to show this omnipresence of the virtual, using video mapping, video, sounds and light interactivities to create the space, the flat of Frederic, where the action takes place. It’s a living place, a sprawling matrix, stilfling, but probably also an illusion created by humans to rock his eternal solitude.

Written and staged by: Gildas Loupiac
Scenography: Barthélemy Antoine-Loeff and Alexandra Petracchi
Sound design: Charles Dubois
Costumes: Marilyne Morel
With: Thomas Lequesne, Géraldine Szajman and Etienne Bodi

Well, we are glad to announce you that Kadâmbini, our audiovisual and cinema show, is represented by AVoka Production, a label dedicated to audiovisual performances and live cinema. So now, our gig is now part of amazing other shows such as Asynthome (Yro & Transforma), Eile (YroYto), Inside The Black Box (Sati & Yro), Operators (Transforma) and Sati (Erwan Raguenes & Jesse Lucas) ! Wouhou !!!

If you follow our news on our Facebook page -if not, you should !-, maybe have you noticed that we have been finalists in the Spectacle Vivant (Performing Art) category for the Prix Paris Jeunes Talents 2011 (Paris Young Talents Award) for our gig Kadâmbini. Unfortunately, we did not get the award. Whatever the result -of course, we cried and drunk a lot !- we are proud to have participated and earned some recognition for our work…

Now, we will take a summer break before coming back with a lot of surprises in september !

If you follow our work, maybe you’ve seen something about Millumin. If not, you have to know that Millumin is a new software created by Philippe (Anomes) from iduun, dedicated to audiovisual show.

Of course, we will use this software for our next performance… and maybe for Kadâmbini, because it owns some very usefull stuffs such as a timeline, one of the many functionalities that’s missing today in our work. Here is a small preview in video…

If you want to know more about Millumin, take a look at the official website and the facebook page.

Thanks to Armitage.tv for this very nice interview on the Malzfabrik roof after a great show at the Screenplay.CHB / Berlin in april… We met so great people, and of course, had a very good time in this so much exciting town ! There is also great photos of our gig here and there.
