LA VEILLEUSE, CABARET HOLOGRAPHIQUE

A simple bare bulb mounted on a stand, it prepares itself in the empty hall to ward off the spirits that are sure to appear: in English, it is called the ghost light. La Veilleuse, Cabaret holographique pays tribute to this object of the shadows and its obstinate glow, a symbol of optimism and creative energy.

Inside an artistic cavern, artists gather in their ghostly finery in a surrealist suite, enjoying their temporary immateriality: Yael Naim, multiplied, takes flight; dancer Kaori Ito imprints the trace of her movements in space; the bewitching singers of Birds on a wire vanish in smoke...

How do you make a presence felt in the face of the immaterial? Is it not the very essence of magic to bring us into the presence of the invisible?

"The impression of both strangeness and novelty, of the birth of a new form of entertainment. The first cinema spectators perhaps had this same sensation." La Revue du Spectacle

"A surrealist cabaret that manipulates our beliefs and our perception of the invisible." Télérama
