Adrien M / Claire B's Cinématique Wins Grand Prix du Jury at Bains Numériques
At the Bains Numériques festival in Enghien-les-Bains, the Grand Prix du Jury was awarded to the French duo Adrien M / Claire B, established by Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardaine, for their work Cinématique. This one-hour performance delves into movement as a means of conveying emotion, showcasing Mondot juggling on a stark white stage while dancer Satchie engages with a black box that displays a massive hand. The piece combines live action, digital projections, and real-time interaction through eMotion, a proprietary software created by Mondot. Since 2011, they have been merging movement with graphics. Additionally, their exhibition XYZT provides an interactive exploration of abstract environments, alongside a lecture-performance titled Un point c'est tout.
