For several years, the Society for Arts and Technology has been developing the SCENIC software, which expands the notion of scenic telepresence, a practice of real-time audiovisual recording and transmission that brings together participants in different physical locations. More than twenty performance venues in Quebec are equipped with this technology to create in a network and stage collaborative works. The SAT is proud to reveal this season’s projects!

A multidisciplinary interactive performance by Collectif Bonneau-Knightthat highlights the links between the body and the land. The experience of walking and drawing are a metaphor for life’s course. Spectators are invited to contribute to the construction of this space shared at a distance, this new virtual territory existing only through telepresence.

Two projects in creation
In preparation for next year, two projects are in research and creation.

Bluff

Three characters in three different cities. The protagonists reveal themselves, question themselves, discuss and debate the question of authenticity. Through the camera, they seek to demonstrate their honesty and integrity. But can we be “real” while controlling our image on-screen? How can we avoid succumbing to the temptation of transforming reality through the camera?
