Orlando / Chandolin

ORLANDO
New Paradigm Opera for seven movements, one voice and one horizon, based on Virginia Woolf’s epic novel for an androgynous figure


ORLANDO is a performative installation combining conscious movement, video installation, architecture and live music performance. Julie Beauvais choreographs conscious movements with seven Orlandos of today, embodying the post-binary new paradigm in Berlin, Kinshasa, Marfa, London, Varanasi, Lisboa, Chandolin, Patagonia, North Sea. Slow motion is here used as a means of revelation, enabling an expanded consciousness, a clairvoyance. Horace Lundd chooses vast horizon lines to capture these essential movements at the blue hour. She films fragments destined to later form a continuum and to create the Orlandos common breathing. Sibylle Kössler and Wynd Van der Woude design a set device allowing the videos to be projected simultaneously, merging the seven horizon lines into one. Christophe Fellay creates an open score for guest musicians and sound artists - Yannick Barman in Chandolin - invited to re-invent our experience at each performance. ORLANDO connects artists, scientists and audiences at the heart of today’s individual and collective shifts.
