L'OmbreBlanca Li & Édith Canat de Chizy

A scholar grants his shadow the ability to come to life and gain autonomy, so that it can break free and ultimately cast the human into darkness… A living, augmented performance, "L'Ombre" is a groundbreaking, hybrid project conceived by choreographer Blanca Li and composer Édith Canat de Chizy.

• An ambitious set-up: 200 mixed-reality headsets, 44 performances, 10 dancers and one percussionist. At the heart of the project, we built a fully automated show control architecture, linking augmented reality, video projection (mapping), lighting and live sound across the space.
• The IRCAM team used its innovative tuning and spatialisation systems across more than 96 loudspeakers, which we integrated into a precise, timecode-driven synchronization chain.
• A perfectly coordinated experience, where every visual or sonic effect moves in harmony with the choreography and the performers, ensuring a seamless run and consistent quality at every performance.
