回声四起，音符闪烁——夏特莱大剧院音乐可视化装置

如果夏特莱大剧院中的音乐有了形状，音符变得可以被看见和触摸，会是什么样呢？声波可以通过材料和空气的震动传向四周，动作与声音之间的游戏就此展开。击打，刮擦，吹奏，放大，联合：每种动作都伴随着声音传播。

What if the music took shape in the Théâtre du Chatelet, its notes becoming visible and palpable. From the vibration of material or virtual objects sound waves unfold in the surrounding space. A game is spontaneously established between gesture and sound. Hitting, scratching, blowing, amplifying, combining: everything binds and spreads.

Collectif Parenthèse希望利用自己的第五个Variations作品，在夏特莱大剧院中把这种震动具象化。设计如同一个回声装置，声音从舞台传向上方的吊灯。环形支架在空中的分布与剧院四层看台的形状和节奏相一致，闪烁的透明气球则代表了空中飞舞的轻盈音符。

For the 5th edition of Variations, the Collectif Parenthèse wanted to materialize this vibratory immersion within the Théâtre du Chatelet. The proposed scenography develops like an acoustic echo propagating a sound wave from the stage to the chandelier. The spread of the circles in the air follows the rhythm and shape of the balconies of the great hall on the 4 floors. The lightness of the musical notes dancing in the light is symbolized by clusters of transparent and sparkling balloons.

装置由四个巨大的悬浮环形支架组成，让二重奏演奏家们可以沉浸在自己的演出中，同时突出了空间的特点。相机可以架设在看台上、舞台边、或者装置中心，拍摄出不同角度的景象。透明的气球不会对演出者或舞台形成遮挡，但是可以捕捉空间中的光线。环形支架由黑色pvc管制成，与看台的节奏相呼应。

Composed of 4 large suspended circles, this scenography allows the artist duos to be immersed in their performance while highlighting the architecture of the place. Camera framing is then possible from the balconies, around the stage, in the heart of the installation itself. The balloons are transparent so as not to obstruct the framing of the artists and the architecture while capturing the play of lights and shimmers. The circles are in black pvc tubes to mark the rhythm of the balconies.
