New Paradigm Opera for seven movements, one voice and one horizon, based on Virginia Woolf’s epic novel for an androgynous figure.
ORLANDO is a performative installation combining conscious movement, video installation, architecture and live music performance. Julie Beauvais choreographs conscious movements with seven contemporary visions of Orlandos, embodying the post-binary new paradigm in Berlin, Kinshasa, Marfa, London, Varanasi, Lisboa, Chandolin, Patagonia, North Sea. Slowness is used here as a way to reveal, enable an expand consciousness. Horace Lundd chooses vast horizon lines to capture these essential movements at the blue hour. He creates the cohabitation of the Orlandos in fragmented elements and creates in this way the perception of their common breathing. Kössler & Van der Woude have developed a scenographic installation that enables simultaneous screening of the videos, merging the seven horizon lines into one. Christophe Fellay creates an open score. The gmem-CNCM-marseille organises four electronic performances in parc Henri Fabre and invites two sounds artists to dialogue with ORLANDO : Meryll Ampe and eRikm.
Proposed and curated by gmem-CNCM-marseille in collaboration with La Bâtie, Festival de Genève.
