L’Itinéraire, direction Mark Foster. Le 25 mars 2006, Lyon, Musiques en scène, GRAME Notice: Piranhas is a video-opera where the audience is immersed in the sound and the image, surrounded by musicians playing and visual screens covering the walls of the space: images are projected on all four walls of the room, the musicians are in the center, the audience sits around the musicians and all four saxophonist placed at a corner of the place. The images scrolling on the 4 screens follow a piranha, freshwater fish of Amazon, famous by the ferocity of his sharp teeth, trying to nourish one word: 'freedom'. Behind him, at the bottom of the water scroll other images, those ones real and virtual, as a mirror of our contemporaneity. Florence Baschet. |
