An experimental sound, video and performative creation from Julie Faubert that unfolds from the very specific context of the Cinéma moderne screening room in Montreal. Through sound images, live light framing and projected video sequences, the nature of the image is constantly questioned. Thanks to the interplay of quasi-synesthetic references, it is the dark room itself that is represented, activated, doubled, shifted, disturbed and even mirrored. The cinematographic Dolby Atmos sound diffusion system is used in an unusual way, to the extreme limit of its spatializing potential. Plunged into darkness, the audience experiences the many apparitions that reveal the performers’ poetic use of the space.

This work is the result of several years of in situ creative work at Cinéma moderne.

The Panel | Experimenting with Space Between Reality and Fiction: the Politics of Perception is also presented in relation to this performance.
