※ This performance is an audience participatory performance where “light” serves as the performer.
Deep are the Woods offers a connection to nature and to the universe through the experience of a physical relationship with light. The movement of its rays gives substance to the emptiness and inhabits it with intangible presence.
SynopsisDeep are the Woods is an immersive show whose interpreter is the light and which evokes vacuum and infinity. The place is into darkness and gives the impression of having no edges, only the light is visible and moves slowly, it breathes and defines space, it becomes space. Made tangible by a fine fog, it comes to seek the audience, it caresses, it envelopes, is with him. The sensation is very physical, some people try to eat the light, others feel crossed by it or have the impression that they will fall if they leave it. Most lose track of time.
Concept/Creation Eric Arnal-Burtschy
Eric Arnal-Burtschy studied history, philosophy and geopolitics before moving on to the living and visual arts. His work, inspired by research on the physics of the Universe and a questioning of the human being, takes the form of shows, installations and performances in a logic of immersive experience.
He has notably created with Lyllie Rouviere Bouncing Universe in a Bulk, a diptych on the Universe and the infinite, and Cigue, a solo with Clara Furey on the relationship to freedom and solitude. One of his latest projects, Deep are the Woods, is an evocation of the void in which light is the performer.
Often carrying out significant research for the realization of his projects, he collaborates with several creative centres, universities, companies and research centres.
