ritus

|

installation and live act, 20-30 min

intro|


Space, seen as a container, regulates the limits of the body. no movement can surpass the physical boundaries of space unless the latter allows it (or can it?).

ritus recreates a ceremony of liberation of the body and of displacement between spatio-temporal dimensions. Through a guided journey through six surreal landscapes / soundscapes inhabited by animated bodies from another dimension, the participants are invited to immerse themselves in each of the stages of the ceremony.

the soundtrack|


Crafted with analog synths and sequencers, the original soundtrack unfolds in six soundscapes, each breathing life into the shifting realms where the ceremony’s stages take shape.
