The project named \u00ab\u00a0Coral Sonata\u00a0\u00bb included underwater recordings in the purpose of creating a sound piece dedicated to the corals, and guided by the philosophy of Edouard Glissant\u2026 During this time, the idea of Statocyst came as I was recording fishes, turtles, and dolphins\u2019 sounds around the Florida keys.\n\nA first implementation of this project has been shown in the Palais de Tokyo in November 2019 (see video trailer attached).\n\nIn this performance, Soprano Magali L\u00e9ger embodies Medusa. In the dark, she is singing long notes, surrounded by balance twisting, neuro active infra basses. These low frequencies, and, the a capella vocal composition, were tuned on the room\u2019s wavelengths thus immersing the audience in a form of watery sensitivity.\n\nBiennal Sur would be the perfect frame to reactivate or even better to pursue and develop this work with more singers.","space":"Typology: museums, art centres, exhibition spaces, lobby of Opera houses, performing art venues, atypical spaces like warehouses.\n\nCharacteristics: resonant, spacy, ideally multi level open spaces. Open air spaces are NOT suitable for this project.\n\nDimensions : no peculiar dimensions is required but the performance space has to be at least 150 m2 large.\n\nThe audience is supposed to be mixed with the performers space wise but a frontal theatre stage like dispositive is also possible.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/415924652","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":0,"names":"Kerwin","surname":"ROLLAND","email":"kerwin.rolland@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"13CZ68781","address":"20 rue Andr\u00e9 DEL SARTE","city":"Paris","nacionality":"French","country_id":"77","birthdate":"1976-07-15T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1976-07-15T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+33652649200","web":"https:\/\/www.kerwinrolland.com\/"}
