With this new creation the duo iliaeb revisits the universe of the Review of Music Hall.
Combining the experience of Ilia - choreographer and dancer - in cabaret around the world and that of Etienne in digital creation live, the duo appropriates the most famous numbers: Feathers, French Cancan and Contortion.
Sublimating the body and highlighting the grace and lightness of the dancers, the Feathers have become over the years the emblem of Music Hall. No review worthy of the name without them.
ILIAEB takes this symbol and gives it a new dimension. The duo does not just adorn his dancers, he tries to give life.
Support and pretext for video projection, they become an extension of the body of the dancers. The choreography, while keeping the strict codes of the numbers of Plumes, integrates them not only as element of costumes, but especially as partners of «Girls». The French Cancan meanwhile, to a revolutionary history.
First reserved for men, the so-called «Cavalier Seul» dance is very quickly taken up by women. They all invent a series of steps intended to mock and even ridicule the clergy, the army and the established order in general. The speed of the footwork is of paramount importance, allowing one to glimpse the underwear without ever showing it, the women thus claiming a form of sexual freedom.
ILIAEB pays tribute to this furious and furious dance, placing it in the current context. Without ever distorting the choreographic technique, the games of lights and videos focus sometimes on the skirt, sometimes on the legs, and always on the symbolic.
For these first two numbers, the digital visual creation is produced live through the manipulation by the videographer of different materials in a module arranged on stage. Thus will be taken by a camera the material inherent in the magazine - cloth, feathers, rhinestones ...- as well as graphic elements generated by the music - visual paterns of Art Deco inspiration, to be projected on the bodies and costumes of the two dancers.

in process of creation
[OxO] brings together three artists from different horizons in a stage, visual and sound performance.
This show combines dance, live sound and visual creation and video mapping. It consists of several tableau of different visual and musical universes.
Faithful to their favorite theme, the duo iliaeb plays here on the perception disorder, the illusion, the researcher in search of beyond what is immediately perceptible in order to create a sensitive spectacle.
This performance consists of several tableau as a form of dance with video projection on the body of the interpreter, of music and video projected in cartography on the scenographic elements.
The visual creation is generated by the music and then projected on different elements that are manipulated in live, captured by a camera and then rebroadcast. The manipulated elements are also smoke, water, matter, objects. In the same way, the body of a dancer is alternately a projection surface and a matter of visual creation.
The digital tool serves as a link to dance, music and video

VisUal Live] is adaptable and evolutive performance in relation to the sound environment offered by the musician. Visual creation is done directly by manipulating objects, materials, lights and images generated by a computer. A camera captures this manipulation and then projects on screen.


First performance with the musician Rohan1000 on 1 April 2017 at the Gendarmerie, Vitry-sur-Seine

[Hiatus] brings real-time dance, video, music and light together with a sensor: the Kinect. The gesture is captured, retransmitted and analyzed, triggering a visual and audible response to which it responds in turn.

For the artists it is a reversal of the conventional codes of the show. Hiatus not only connects the living with the digital, it links them to each other. The dancer precedes the music, leads and plays video. She is both an interpreter and conductor, she triggers and reacts. Play with digital elements and in fact its stage partners.

By introducing a physical body and enabling it to act through dance on the technological tool, our will is to make sensitive and visible the intervention of the Human in the digital work and thus give it a dimension other than Virtual. The body, as a disruptive and / or triggering element, thus comes somehow to "hack" the machine.

Hiatus is looking for a new digital writing by playing the errors and possible latencies of the machine by the body. The latter is neither the puppet of the digital tool nor a body augmented by it, it is a body in constant dialogue with this tool. The digital tool is somewhere considered to be a separate entity.

Hiatus is a Live Digital Art Show
