Tilt Festival explore les pratiques artistiques populaires de ce début de siècle. Musiques et multimédia, interactivité et numérisation, les nouvelles technologies sont de en plus accessibles et bousculent les frontières entre l’artiste et l’amateur. Tilt Festival se veut le reflet de ce bouillonnement, de ces imaginaires portés tout au long de l’année par El Mediator Perpignan.
À travers le Tilt Festival, nous essayons d'anticiper ce que deviendront les nouveaux modes de consommation et de production culturelle dans les années à venir.

The interactive dance + theatre performance En 3+4 jeu x 3 is the result of the collaboration in between the French dance-company Res Publica and the Belgian Laboratorium for Architecture and Urbanism _ LAB[au].As a homage to Nicolas Schöffer’s first cybernetic interactive performance KYLDEX 1 in 1973 in the Hamburg Opera, here the public interactions also influence the spatial and temporal structures of the stage.
A time, given at the beginning of the show, initializes a countdown. What will happen in the given time-span, will be the result of the audience's 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. Inspired by the work of Oskar Schlemmer the reduction to an elementary scenic language based on its very codes explores representation yet 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 hypertextual device.Concept: Res Publica, LAB[au]
