Blanca Li / CANCELLED
Le Bal de Paris
Premiering at Chaillot
A lively immersive show in virtual reality. We invite you to the biggest ball in Paris, an experience created by Blanca Li to allow us to discover in spectacular fashion virtual reality through dance and music.
For an hour and a half, Blanca Li proposes a total performance, of which forty minutes are in virtual reality in a fantastical, poetic, delicate and surprising universe. At once spectator and actor, the public is encouraged to participate and to dance during the experience, in interaction with real dancers. To ensure the transition from reality to the virtual world, the spectator is first immersed in a great ball with real dancers.
The scenography, the music, the festive atmosphere and the dance figures mischievously come together when he/she delves into virtual reality. Structured around three great ball scenes, this piece drags the spectator into the whirlwind of a love story where the dancers are the main characters of the plot. Each and every one is free to dance, experience the party in his/her own way and interact with whomever. An entertaining, fabulous and total out-of-the-ordinary experience to be lived with friends or family.
