Deversoir #1
Les Déversoirs are INTIMISTE artistic events at LE Picardeau, combining performance, film, music and poetry.
April 2024, Vincent Moon ‘s live performance explored expanded cinema and ritual music gathered around the world.
As a call to the personal unconscious hidden behind our collective images, Vincent Moon devotes himself to a long-term research on contemporary trance. In each one of it’s “extra-ordinary” improvised performance the artist mixes live images and their sounds from spiritual rituals captured around the world. He draws on the inexhaustible treasures of his cinematographic and musical recordings made during his countless travels, among the people and lands of an elsewhere far or near but which always invites us to get out of our routine and simply from ourselves…
His poetic universe thus ignores the voice-over, and the basic documents of his shows display no information, no didactic commentary: for what matters in this experience is to let the imagination wander, to take free paths. An imaginary world made up of mysterious and fruitful encounters and coincidences, driven by a taste for impromptu and sometimes for chance…
Each one of Vincent Moon’s live cinema remains unique and exists only in the moment, each cinematic experience thus cannot be imitated or reproduced.
Vincent Moon is an independent filmmaker and sound explorer. He has been making films for the past twenty years, traveling around the world in quest of sounds, from stadium rock music to rare shamanic rituals, from experiments in electronics to a cappella village songs. He is now exploring links between ancient and new forms of ceremonies. All his work is published under open source licenses.
