Le bal de Paris de Blanca Li

Le bal de Paris de Blanca Li is an immersive, participative and interactive project intended to be experienced in full body awareness together with 10 spectators and 2 professional dancers performing the main characters in a physical space. The online version is a standalone approach of the live version which can be experienced during the Festival in Venice, at Conservatorio Statale di Musica Benedetto Marcello. Adèle celebrates her coming home to Paris with a great ball organised by her parents in her honor. Pierre, one of the guests, will change the course of the party. Each spectator will first choose his Chanel costume, and personalised Avatar, and he will then be invited to follow Adèle’s love story unfolding in three acts. Main characters played by the dancers will guide the spectator through a virtual and fantastic universe, with three main locations to party: a monumental ballroom, a magical garden party, and a Parisian club. Breathtaking transitions are staged on a lake and aboard a train. Music and dance merge with virtual reality to offer you an innovative, festive, artistic and spectacular experience.

The presence of 2 dancers and 10 spectators interacting and dancing, the festive mood from music and songs, choice of avatars, of language, and a story everybody can follow, make Le bal de Paris an experience suitable for all audiences. One that reveals the potential of VR technology, beyond its present reach. For the subject, I was inspired first by traditional operettas and musicals, then I wrote an original script transposed in an unreal and timeless universe, at the same time retro futuristic, classical, contemporary and above all, hallucinating. The participation of the VR team from BackLight Studio, and the Chanel team, allowed me to create a totally original experience, faithful to my dreams.

The online version of Le Bal de Paris de Blanca Li is a standalone approach of the live version which can be experienced, during the 78th Venice Film Festival, at the Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello: an immersive, participative and interactive project intended to be experienced in full body awareness together with 10 spectators and 2 professional dancers performing the main characters in a physical space.
