In March, Transcultures shows the result of the last interdisciplinary residencies of the European project M4m (M for mobility) in Mons and organizes a workshop in this context questioning the links between culture and creative industries. We are also invited by the festival Ars Musica to present City Sonic installations and by the Month of the Poetry in Quebec for the first part of Les Transatlantiques, a series of poetry-music exchanges initiated with Rhizome Productions. About the art of crossing borders!

eVanescens

Bruxelles > Brigittines > 20:00

todor-todoroff-laura-colmenares_evanescens_transcultures-2012

This interactive audiovisual performance which was first presented at the Digital Music Days (JIM) in Mons in collaboration with festival Les Transnumériques in 2012, is a journey through different states, moving the border between the real and dream worlds. The musician-composer Todor Todoroff and videographer Laura Colmenares Guerra explore hybrid territories. With Belgian cellist Sigrid Vandenbogaerde, they perform live mixing acoustic, electroacoustic and video. evanescens draws the viewer in an uncertain world, a disturbing strangeness between lightness and a feeling of weightless.
