INTERACTIVE TRANSMEDIA PERFORMANCE, HANGAR D2 , le Port, REUNION ISLAND
The performance reflects on the migration of culture, spirit and civilisation, in the individual as well as in the universal consciousness, and incarnates the content of the indian legend of the 11th century until its own artistic form, by proposing interaction between the different medias of art performance (Emmanuel Tatel, Nikunja), contemporary dance, karate and capoeira (defense technic of slaves), video performance, video real time composition (by French directors JeanMarie Pernelle and Fred Lambolez), live sound creation (Alain Perret), ritual performance (Venantia Otto) and poetry by Nandana Sen's mother , Padmashree and Sahitya Academy Award winner Nabaneeta Dev Sen and the spectators, who are astonishingly seated in the centre, surrounded by the circle shaped scene.
