Ten years after the creation of Le Colonel des Zouaves, the first steps of a collaboration between Olivier Cadiot, Ludovic Lagarde, and Ircam, how can the “transports” of this new mage be made perceptible today, and how can the unity of the stage setting be broken?

Real-time vocal transformation, spatialization, changes of scale—in space and time—becoming molecular or geographic, moving from quark to Google Earth, from Proust’s voice to Robinson’s… Text by Olivier Cadiot. Directed by Ludovic Lagarde. Featuring Laurent Poitrenaux. A documentary written and directed by Marion Stoufflet and Benoît Martin.


Co-production Ircam – Centre Pompidou. 2009.

Images of a Work Collection No. 10: Tensio by Philippe Manoury

Entering Philippe Manoury’s studio means recognizing the persistence of an ongoing inquiry into the interaction between musicians and computer-based systems. This film traces several moments of the composer’s exchanges with computer scientists, researchers, and performers, leading to the creation of a string quartet with electronics in which a “real” quartet and a “synthesized” quartet share musical figures to the point of blurring boundaries.
