Vif
Inspired by Alain Damasio’s “La Horde du Contrevent” and foresight as a tool for scientific research, Philippe Gordiani and Malo Lacroix are developing an audiovisual spectacle that addresses the question of energy through the lens of climate issues and literature.
As a research and writing project, “Vif ” confronts the viewer with the challenges related to the use of rare earth elements and the potential consequences of a future where energy could become a fictional concept. Combining sound synthesis, voice, generative tools, and video creation, the duo invites us to delve into a new form of narrative with futuristic undertones yet eerily close to home.
Creation : 8 March 2024 at L’Hexagone Scène Nationale Arts Sciences de Meylan.
Philippe Gordiani: design, sound creation
Malo Lacroix: design, visual creation
Running time: 50 minutes.

Malo Lacroix
Born in Cayenne (French Guiana) and currently residing in Lyon, Malo comes from a visual background (Émile Cohl School and Presqu’île School) and works as a director and scenographer. His penchant for visually rich material is equally fueled by current social issues as well as the aesthetics of the body and objects. Since 2013, he has worked as a project manager for Studio BK and collaborated with various musicians such as Murcof, Robert Henke, Antoine Mermet, Dasha Rush, and Yves de Mey in the form of stage audiovisual creations. Malo has also explored multiple forms including installation, film, scenography, and performance in institutions such as Musée Fabre in Montpellier, Berliner Festspiele in Berlin, Forte festival in Portugal, Gaîté Lyrique and Théâtre du Chatelet in Paris, De Brake Grond in Amsterdam, Mirage festival and Nuits Sonores in Lyon, Evo festival in Eboli, and Gamma festival in Saint Petersburg. In 2019, Malo was awarded the bronze medal at the Shenzhen Design Week in China for the project “Porte Nef,” resulting from a collaboration with architect Maxime Aumon and composer In Aeternam Vale. More recently, his video work was included in the show “A l’origine fut la Vitesse,” a hybrid theatrical and musical form by Philippe Gordiani and Nicolas Boudier based on Alain Damasio’s “La Horde du Contrevent.” His video, Celui qui voulait croire au bison, is being presented as part of the official VIDEOFORMES 2024 video competition.
