Papillon
A story of flight, freedom and transformation
A folkloric tale of a Cuban refugee danced through the metaphor of an ever-changing butterfly and in shadow.
Papillon is a high quality, multi-camera video of a theatrical performance featuring animation projected live, with live projected animation designed and directed by Deniz Khateri, cellist Stephen Marotto performing Kaija Saariaho's Sept Papillons for solo cello, performed and with original poetry by Aliana de la Guardia, and filmed by Souonovivo Audio and Multimedia Services.
Ofelia's Life Dream
A psychedelic tale of life and death
A woman at a life crossroads faces a difficult decision and hallucinates fantastic dream worlds transforming into mysterious bioluminescent fungi, moths that drink tears of sleeping birds, and giant self-destructing palm trees.
Ofelia's Life Dream is an experimental film written and with music by Caroline Louise Miller, directed by Laine Rettmer, visual effects by Nuozhou Wang, starring by Aliana de la Guardia, and in partnership with HC Media.
Additionally, each week of the exhibit we will release a Bonus Track from Violin Spaces by Garth Knox performed by Lilit Hartunian and with green screen animation and direction by Julia Noulin-Mérat.
