LAC Project

LAC Project is a multi-disciplinary artistic collective founded by choreographer and musician Mathieu Calmelet and visual artist and director Ludivine Large-Bessette, and later joined by sound artist Octave Courtin. Their hybrid works transform the body into a vehicle for sensations, emotions and stories, and are equally at home on dance stages, in contemporary art museums and concert halls.  Their work has been presented at the Carreau du Temple, the Centre d'Art d'Enghien-les-Bains, Nuit Blanche Paris, the ET 20 L'ÉTÉ Festival and the Salon de Montrouge, among others.

Three individuals and sound sculptures enter into a relationship, creating a strange landscape on stage. To the rhythm of human and mechanical breath, LAC Project invites the audience into a singular musical and choreographic symphony, rejecting the boundaries between organic and mechanical, acoustic and digital, and dreaming up new ways of relating the human body to its environment.

Like a landscape unfurled on the stage, three individuals and strange wind sculptures enter into a relationship, activate, contract and abandon themselves. To the rhythm of human and mechanical breaths, electrified by live digital processing, the LAC Project collective invites the audience into a singular musical and choreographic symphony, rejecting the boundaries between organic and mechanical, acoustic and digital, and dreaming of new modes of relationship between the human body and its environment.
