No reality now, la danse et son double

"No reality now" is an augmented show, which combines dance and virtual reality. It invites us into a beyond ― inaccessible, unfathomable, unintelligible, like the death that it precisely ventures to stage.  
A hybrid experience for 100 spectators, of which this documentary retraces the production stages, between rereading of the live show and implementation of new technological bricks.

Dupont, Vincent

Performer and choreographer Vincent Dupont is an associated artist at the Maison de la Danse and the Lyon Biennale de la Danse for the 2023-2024 season. 

A multidisciplinary artist, Dupont combines diverse art forms into choreography. Theatre, film and art installations all have a place in his singular work: a dizzyingly surreal blend of the archaic with the ultramodern. In Incantus and Air, the dancers’ breath is played through speakers, melding with the voices of a contemporary music ensemble. Amplifying the dancers’ breath, heightens the reverberations of their movements through the space. 

Dupont draws on the visual arts (Jachères improvisations is inspired by an installation by artist Stan Douglas), and the dramatic arts (Mettre en pièce(s) is a free adaptation of the play Offending the Audience). His work is both radical and transgressive. In in Hauts Cris (miniature), Dupont sits alone in a cluttered, bourgeois living room, until his rage boils over into destruction. In Refuge, an allegory of duality, two manual labourers, stuck performing repetitive movements, sabotage the machine that alienates them. 

In 5 apparitions successives Vincent Dupont shifts between different mediums, blurring the line between the visible and the invisible and experimenting with a diversity of images: analogue, digital and even subliminal. With pieces like Stéréoscopia to No reality now, he creates immersive installations that warp audience perception. Condensed from fragments of dreams, his work is an investigation of the line between reality and fiction, image and life, that cumulates in the mind of an audience aroused to heightened sensations.

Ayats, Charles

Charles Ayats is a writer director and immersive/interactive experience designer. His experience “Phi” was selected for the Arte/NFB Interactive Haiku project. He is passionate about making informative, meaningful, innovative, politically engaged work, in the form of web documentaries (such as, “Check-in”, “Pas si bêtes les Animaux”, and “Tati Express”), and video games, like Type:Rider, a three-part game on the history of typography, which he co-directed in 2013. 

Always on the look out for new forms of story-telling, he often participates in hackathons (Artgame weekend, StoryHack Tribecca/ Cern, Game in the city, HackLaMisère) as a way to enrich his previous experience and training (Cifap, Gobelins, Dixit, INA). 

A lover of virtual reality, he adapted Marc-Antoine Mathieu’s graphic novel SENS (2016) for VR. The work is a voyage through an invisible labyrinth exploring both the notion of the absurd and the place of the player within the game. He also co-wrote “7 Lives” (2019) an interactive VR experience directed by Jan Kounen, which blends interactive 360° surround video with real-time 3D graphics, and “Le Cri” (2019) based on the painting The Scream by Edvard Munch. 

After making an augmented reality short film, M.O.A (2020), adapted from Alain Damasio’s futuristic novel “The Shealthies”, he is continuing his explorations in story-telling, bodies and space with live performance projects, including Colonie.s and No reality now.
