Alternative Dramaturgies: marginality, meaning and technology - alt[d
by Postmarginal
In the performing arts landscape, the intersection between live performance and technology has become a captivating area of exploration. From October 23 to 27, the talented team of artists and researchers from Alternative Dramaturgies: Marginality, Senses and Technology (Alt|D) embark on a five-day journey, delving into the fields of binaural sound, vibrational experiences and video imaging technologies, drawing inspiration from the sensory perceptions of visually impaired people and people with neurodiversity.
At the heart of this ambitious initiative is a quest for artistic innovation, a sincere desire to discover new avenues of storytelling that can marry theater and the possibilities of technology. In an additional dimension, the works of artists Audrey-Anne Bouchard, Kagan Goh, Peter Farbridge and Jean-François Boisvenue seek to explore vocabularies inspired by the realities of people with disabilities and people with neurological disorders, in order to engage and 'immerse audiences in experiential stories.By harnessing the power of binaural sound technology, Florian Grond strives to create a sensory experience that envelops the audience, transporting them into the very fabric of storytelling. By exploiting the intricacies of sound localization, they seek to orchestrate sensory experiences that resonate deeply with audiences.
VibraFusionLab's David Bobier's exploration of vibrational devices is revolutionizing the way audiences perceive and engage with theater. By integrating tactile sensations into performance, Alt|D aims to explore a holistic physical experience, blurring the lines between the tangible and the ephemeral, and amplifying the impact of storytelling on a visceral level.
Simultaneously, the integration of video imaging technologies, supported by the Scène Interactives Technology team, under the leadership of Nicolas Berzi and Armando Menicacci, serves to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. By seamlessly blending virtual and physical realities, Alt|D expands on ongoing research and creation that seamlessly blends live performance with the allure of digital imagery.
The ultimate goal of this creative convergence is to inspire new modes of intercultural and interdisciplinary dialogue, to explore a new form of artistic expression that transcends conventional communication. Alt|D aspires to build narratives that speak to often excluded experiences, expanding access and tools for neurodiverse and disabled artists, forging new connections and possibilities that resonate deeply with audiences.
