Multidisciplinary performance
A woman, accompanied by a musician, explores the phenomenon of love. The musician expresses himself with a device that formally combines the somatic, the mediatic, and the digital. The woman wears a corset that measures her breathing in every state of her being—in other words, her lover’s breath. This biometric data is represented by an abstract virtual entity, a third character that links and transforms text, music, and video live on stage. For the Attachée project, Line Nault looked back on thirty years of intimate writings on love, retaining but a scattered sampling of feelings and thoughts.
For several years, Line Nault has developing an interdisciplinary practice based on the body’s ability to create a language beyond media. Using interactive devices specifically created for her projects, she brings to life a sensitive and poetic universe.
