A hybrid, participatory work, La Tisseuse d’histoires fuses live performance, live music, virtual reality and cinematographic creation. The stories and sets on stage are the fruit of a collective creation carried out during workshops on the theme of Pleasure prior to the performance. On the day of the show, members of the audience are invited to activate these stories in the form of a virtual reality puppet show, accompanied by a musician, making each experience unique.
To take part in the creation of the work, sign up for the “Making our stories” workshop.
Create new stories for La Tisseuse d’Histoires (in performance on Saturday January 18 and Sunday January 19, 2025), during a three-part workshop.
Hypnoscope
La Tisseuse d’Histoires is a project by the artist-researchers in the digital and visual arts of the Hypnoscope collective.
Rémi Sagot-Duvauroux Editor, virtual reality experience designer and researcher
Rémi has worked mainly on animated feature films and documentaries such as Michael Dudok de Wit’s La Tortue Rouge and Raphaël Meyssan’s Les Damnés de la Commune. He is also a doctoral student in the Spatial Media group at EnsadLab, the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, as part of the PSL University’s SACRe programme. Based on the creation of artistic and experimental devices, his research explores the concept of montage as a narrative, discursive and poetic vector in immersive digital experiences. He teaches VR at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs, ENSTA Paris and the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris.
Lia Mchedlishvili Animated film illustrator and set designer
Lia arrived in France from Kyiv, Ukraine in 2012 to study animation film. Today she works on feature films, animated series, illustrations and short films.
She has designed sets for The Famous Bear Invasion in Sicily by Lorenzo Mattotti, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Peter Baynton and Charlie Mackesy and worked on the set design for Saules Aveugles, Femme Endormie by Pierre Földes. She also teaches her craft to students at the Créapole school in Paris.
Loup Vuarnesson Interaction design researcher, artist and developer
Loup specialises in designing digital interfaces and creating interactive and immersive experiences. His artistic work focuses on new forms of storytelling, revealing the creative and narrative potential of spatialised media. After completing a thesis on intuitive and improvised movement in immersion at EnsadLab in Paris, Loup now works at the LNCO in Geneva, a neuroscience laboratory, where he studies the mechanisms of consciousness using meditation and virtual reality.
