Alice in Wonder - Alice au Pays

Alice in Wonder is an animated film, with dialogues by Lewis Carroll and Louise Lecavalier, in line with the technical inventions made during the creation of Is You Me in 2008 with Benoî Lachambre and Louise Lecavalier. In Is You Me, the piece is based on a very particular technique of decor drawn with a graphic palette and projected live on a stage consisting of an architecture of 6 screens. The image occupies the entire stage and the dancers move between the screens, literally in the image.
The costume and the writing of the movement transform them into drawings. As the only light is that of the projector, the two planes of reality, the bodies and the drawings, merge in the same light and the same perspective. It is also a matter of emphasizing the gesture of drawing rather than the result of the constituted drawing. Thanks to this technique, not only do the dancers become drawings, but the drawing begins to dance. With Alice In Wonder, Laurent Goldring wishes to transform this way of choreograph where drawing is a full partner of dance, into a technique for creating animated films. Alice in Wonderland is a premonitory text on today’s body transformations and multiple identities…
