June 18, 2016: Aire, Visual Concert for Nomads in Poughkeepsie, NY PICTURES and TRAILER

"Aire – Visual Concert for Nomads” is a cinematic, musical and poetic piece created and directed by Javier Moreno (composition, double bass) Laia Cabrera (filmmaker and video artist) in collaboration with Isabelle Duverger (animation and projection mapping) that travels through time and space, for those seeking permanently, never having the feeling of forever.

The piece is designed as a site-specific visual concert, conceived from an original musical suite and developed as collaboration into an allegory of images and immersive video mapped projection design on an architectural space.
Exploring the nomadic nature of our lives in a geographical and emotional level, we invite the viewer on an adventure through the senses, where love and traveling are intertwined in an inseparable way, telling the story of the ephemeral and the eternal.
This project, forged in New York, searches new forms of expression within the creative frame of contemporary art. The creation of suggestive atmospheres sustains a collective pulse accentuated by the international diversity of its artists.

WATCH TRAILER:


"Aire – Visual Concert for Nomads” is community event supported by NeighborWorks America and Arts Mid-Hudson, in cooperation with Poughkeepsie Open Studios.

September 26, 2015: Aire at Art All Night: Nuit Blanche DC

Aire: Visual Concert for Nomads is a cinematic, musical and poetic proposal that travels through cities, memories and time, exploring the nomadic nature of our lives.

Aire is a cinematic, musical and poetic piece designed as a site-specific visual concert created and directed by Laia Cabrera (filmmaker and video artist) and Javier Moreno (composition, double bass) in collaboration with Isabelle Duverger (animation and projection mapping), into an allegory of images traveling thought time and space and powerfully scored by an original musical suite for those seeking permanently, never having the feeling of forever.
The multimedia show merges immersive video mapped projection design with performing arts by featuring video art and live visuals with an international concert ensemble.
Aire starts with a tune whistled as an evocative element that once playing, recalls the memories, drawing the listener into images of other lives, to the cities we inhabit and live, where we fell in love and built ourselves to then leave them behind.
Exploring the nomadic nature of our lives in a geographical and emotional level, the viewer is taken on an adventure through the senses, where love and traveling are intertwined in an inseparable way, telling the story of the ephemeral and the eternal. How do you leave a country? How do you stay? How do you create ties and embrace or abandon relationships?
This visual musical score explores new ways of using the space and the visual imaginary as a tool for narrative storytelling and audience connection. This international collaborative project was born from research and this expansive spirit.

"We use cinema, music and performing arts to challenge all preconceptions, including narrative structure, logical thinking, or boundaries with the audience. It seemed clear that the natural step for us was to join forces with artists from different disciplines to create a new language. We wanted to explore very concrete and recognizable situations in all its artistic possibilities with the ultimate goal to expand our realities and perspectives.
We approach the design as a combination of content and imagery and the way that imagery is displayed. We use different video streams to map the architectural surface, searching for new ways of staging the public space; driven by both the scenographic and dramaturgical aspects."

This project, forged in New York, searches for new forms of expression within the creative frame of contemporary art. The creation of suggestive atmospheres, sustains a collective pulse accentuated by the international diversity of its artists.

November 2012: Garden of Delights by Arrabal at the Theater for the New City

Theater for the New City - Joyce and Seward Johnson Theater
155 1st Avenue (between 9th and 10th street) New York, NY 10003

From November 15th to December 2nd at 8:00 p.m.

The New Stage Theatre Company updates Arrabal's tale of Lais' dazzling and bizarre journey in this mesmeric production directed by Ildiko Nemeth, with video projection designers Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger. Through a carefully crafted imaginary, the play depict some of the ways that today's culture - celebrity-obsessed to an unprecedented degree - and the preponderance of certain primal behaviors within that culture, may inform the audience's interpretation of Arrabal's premise.

Garden of Delights showcases the vivid and surrealist imagination of controversial Spanish playwright Fernando Arrabal, whose work explores complicated themes of sexuality, violence, good, and evil. Lais, a celebrated but troubled actress, fields calls from a live studio audience while ensconced in her palatial home. The lines between reality, dream and memory are blurred as Lais interacts with figures from her past and with Zenon, an ape-like beast that she keeps in a cage but cannot quite control.

NSTC has collaborated on different productions with Spanish filmmaker and video artist Laia Cabrera in creating multimedia sets with animator Isabelle Duverger, costume designer Egle Paulayskaite, lighting designer Federico Restrepo, choreographer Catherine Correa, composer Jon Gilbert Leavitt and ensemble actors Kaylin Lee Clinton, Belle Caplis, Brandon Olson, Chris Tanner, Geraldine Dulex, Denice Kondik, Francisca Magalhães, Valerie Miller, Florencia Minniti, Devin Nelson, Emma Pettersson, Alexandra Pike, Juliana Silva, and Jeanne Lauren Smith.
