Synopsis
SABIA‐VR is a scenographic VR adaptation of the eponymous piece by composer Juan Arroyo. It is the second work of the ‘Virtual Scenes’ project by French musical ensemble Proxima Centauri, following ANALOG-VR, based on Christophe Havel's piece.
Sabia (“wise” in Spanish) is a non-liturgical Requiem for Nature questioning the conflicting relationship between Humans and Nature. The visual adaptation takes the form of a simulated audiovisual space. The instrumentalists being placed at different points in a space mixing post‐industrial decor and natural gigantism, the spectator can move freely by modifying their listening point, and consequently their apprehension of the spatialized musical composition.
