THIRST

A brilliant hyper-visual concert featuring pulsating live electronic music, THIRST transcends the boundaries of traditional audiovisual performance by utilizing multi-projections of images. Drawing inspiration from the lexicon of road movies, Americanized iconography, and hyper-coloured, image-saturated aesthetics, it offers a sensory journey that prompts reflections on past symbols of transgression, picaresque adventures, and romanticism. These symbols are now challenged by contemporary societal, digital, and environmental developments. 

The performance questions the deeply human desire for freedom and unlimitedness in a world of limited resources and raw materials. Powerfully formulated images created using A.I. outline a society in which ancient symbols of rebellion and adventure have lost their relevance. 

Electronics wizard Franck Vigroux proposes an electrified Neo-dystopian audio atmosphere encapsulated within an intense spectacle of overlapping multi projector image layers onto dual screening canvasses in 3 dimensions. The advanced AV approach to live telluric depictions is generated by Kurt D’Haeseleer from the top Belgium based media collective Werktank.
