A time, chosen at the start of the show, initializes a countdown. What will happen in the given time span will be the result of the audience intervention on the scenic setting of the performance, via a multimedia interface, projected on the back of the scene and from which the options chosen by the audience will take shape. Like a combinatory game, this space of projection and interaction, of 3+4X3 sequences, examines the relations between scene/space – Where, actor/audience – Who, and play/representation – What. In this manner the scene, the actors’ performance, the music and the interface constitute successively a language defining the performance as a trace to be negotiated with the public. The reduction to an elementary scenic language based on its very codes explores representation according to the introduction of real time interactivity, an inter-relation between the public and the actors. In this manner each representation constitutes a specific event questioning the modalities of a medium through a hyper-textual device.

The creation En [ jeu ] 3+4 x 4, EXERCICE FOR A NEW MILLENIUM is the result of the collaboration of the collective Res publica and LAB[au], laboratory for architecture and urbanism.

Wolf Ka was born in 1968 in Hamburg and lives currently in Paris. He studied theatre, psychology and history of art. Parallel to his studies he worked in dramaturgy in the “Deutsche Theater”, Berlin and follows courses of dance. Continuing his studies of theatre in Paris, he was Assistant with the directors such as W .Schroeter, J. Savary and L Bondy and carried out training courses of actor with H. Colas and I. Ubeda. It was thus brought to found its own company, for which it realised 5 creations.

This company called res publica which questions in its creations the public space under various prospects: Creations "res publica, spatial poem " (1996), "Sexes" (1997), "Corpus X" (1998) question the relationship between stage actor and social actor "God is my copilot, multi-media performance" (1999) and its prolongation "Enjeux” (2001-2002) confront the scenic communication situation with the social change related to new technologies of information and communication. He collaborates since his second creation with the electro-acoustic composer Nils Méchin. Since 2001, the company is in residency at Mains d’Oeuvres, place of culture for social and artistic invention.

... Founded in 1995 LAB[au], the belgian collaborative agency links theoretical research - the one of a laboratory, examining the implications of information technologies in spatial and social structures - with a methodological approach in project conception and realisation_la.bau. According to these objectives, all its urban, scenic or entirely digital projects are dealing with the structuring and transmission of information ( hypertext ) while engaging the development of new spatial constructs proper to electronic media. In this manner LAB[au] elaborates a 'MetaDeSign' based on the inherent logics of computation and communication technologies in the visualisation and formalisation of inFORMation processes in textual, graphical, spatial and multidimensional representations; it is about the setting of codes / language drawn from concepts of communication and information sciences - cognitive science - with that of process methods - design - and spatial constructs - architecture.

Co-realisation :

Nadine, Bruxelles ; Théâtre Varia, Bruxelles; Théâtre de la
Platte, Lyon ; Mains d'ouvres, St. Ouen.

With the support of:

the French ministry for culture and communication, CNC/DICREAM.
