VOLTE-FACE
Audiovisual performance by Cie Omnibus. Nancy, France.
40 minutes video.
Composed by 6 Taikos (Japanese drums), voice, guitar and video projections, the piece dives into the collective memory of atomic catastrophes (Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl, Fukushima) to face fear using poetry as main tool.
A single frontal projector was used to map the back wall, objets, and performers. All lights and videos were triggered from the same video output, via Resolume Arena.
