Vivances
In the form of a complex video and audio arrangement, this laboratory is a sensory representation of a descent into the depths of anxiety, depression, and an exploration of the border with suicide through the eyes of those who love us. In the surrounding darkness, indescribable forms mingle with people. However, a ray of light pierces the shadows, their pallid skin, their dark circles, and their tracksuits clinging to their bodies. An overwhelming silence, like an unbearable pressure vibrating the eardrums; drowning a little more each day; a beached whale.
2359 is a multidisciplinary company directed by Guillaume Saindon that creates immersive, interactive works combining new technologies and the performing arts. The company uses a documentary approach to tell stories rooted in reality that make audiences think about collective issues.
