Partnership with NUIT BLANCHE KYOTO Festival
Immersive sound and video installation featuring dance with 2 screens and 12 speakers. For 3 dancers, cello, clarinet, percussion, electronics, 2 screens and 12 speakers.
Theme: Dual Resonance is an experiment that gave birth to the string theory. It observes that during a collision between two particles (performed in a particle collider), two non-identical and simultaneous results can be observed.
A paradox? A matter of point of view? The simultaneity of several realities?
Concept: This movement proposes the exploration of the Dual Resonance concept through a choreographed film and video + sound installation (two screens face to face, and spatialized sounds)
Video: Alexandre Maubert (former resident of the Kujoyama Villa )
Choreography: Hidekazu Maeda.
Dance: Yuki Goda et Kyoko Nomura Conference: In conversation with Yannick Paget (composer), Alexandre Maubert (director), Koji Hashimoto (physicist), and the dancers.
2 screens facing each other. The dance is synchronized. It is impossible to see both images at the same time but the viewer alternates between them. At the end of the experience, the two images merge in the audience’s brain to create a third screen, which figures the string theory.
In this movement, the Chan-Paton factors are used with the smallest interval (1 hertz). The chord of 3 identical notes has a very slight difference of pitch: the result is a rhythm. This rhythm is used as the foundation of the piece.
The music is pre-recorded and built in a semi-spherical space, where each sound has a different meaning depending on its position. Similar to the two screens, there are two sides to the music. The final file is coded in Dolby Atmos, which not only allows for 360-degree sound but also differences in height.
