Premiered at the Centre Pompidou as part of the Agora festival, IRCAM
from 1 to 26 June 2006
Pluies Imamuriennes and soaring flights of winged words, Little Red Riding Hood in a forest of weeds, running through a deserted landscape, an identical loss of bearings and exchange of identities for Antonionesque reunions, drag artist solos and glamorous duos, devouring and rewriteable loves, the Seule avec loup [Alone with Wolf] storia crosses genders, transfers data and knowledge, conveys passengers, dissects interpretations, generates an audiovisual novel in which everyone is led, one by the other, both together, one in the other.
N+N Corsino add a unique adventure. The new technological tools of virtual reality and 3D scenographic design open up extraordinary fields of transformation and interpretation. Visited by the creative imagination of two choreographers in love with fictions, the narrations of this interactive visual, textual and sound navigation transport us in real time in shifts and digressions of all the senses.
Alone with Wolf?? Where are we, in what time?? Am I me, or am I you?? And what if we did not come out of the belly of the wolf, nor from any belly?? And what if the city is forest?? And what if mascunine is femiline?? Do we play at being?? Are we what we play??
Claudine Galéa
Morphoses, a graphic novel, with text by Claudine Galéa and illustrations by Goele Dewanckel (published by Editions du Rouergue), goes along with N+N Corsino’s 3D interactive navigation Seule avec loup [Alone with Wolf].
3D interactive choreographic navigation
The navigation is an adventure, and also a journey, in the form of a fairy tale.
The user’s gestures and movements induce real-time modifications of the virtual environment. The spatialised sounds become active indicators of his orientations in space. Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) transforms sound into a mobile 3D object in the performance space.
WFS (Wave Field Synthesis) is an original sound production technology. Invented by Delft University in Holland and developed by Sonic Emotion and IRCAM researchers, WFS captures a sound scene by preserving spatial information concerning the distance and direction of the sound sources of which it is composed.
