ABOUT
Definitely not a strict stand-and-sing recital, thirs production immerges the audience in a colourful and dreamlike atmosphere. French composer Olivier Messiaen explained that he perceived colours when he heard certain musical chords (a phenomenon known as synaesthesia). Thanks to a computerized system of digital lighting, our Installation recreates this very unique sound-colour relationship.
