Storytelling, electronic music, live video and real-time graphics all come together in Alex Bellini’s performance. Drawing inspiration from Saint-Exupéry’s Little Prince, he explores how humanity should approach and understand reality: through the eyes of an intrepid explorer who puts everything on the line, or through those of a geographer responsible for ensuring the continuity of knowledge yet removed from its very subject?
By interacting with Lagash’s music, Bellini invites us on a quest to explore new stories, characters and adventures. He transforms elemental nature into an emotional narrative, touching upon realms inaccessible to words. Meanwhile, AI transforms the spoken word into dynamic typography and music into shapes and colours, offering an inclusive, multisensory experience.
