VIOLETTE
Duration: 25 mins
Description: VIOLETTE is a installation performance that incorporates the use of virtual reality (VR) and live performance for an audience of one.
An open space or gallery is required to install the set (room/cabins of L 6' x W 6' x H 6').
Available in either English or French.
Extra information: Violette welcomes you – and only you – to enter the privacy of her bedroom… and then, of her imagination. Explore this space as if you were at the home of a friend. Then put on your VR headset… and become the sole witness to the room’s untold story: both magical and tragic. Finally, take the headset off: return to the real world – the one you share with Violette.
In this piece exploring the theme of abuse, each participant is given the chance to enter one woman’s unique inner world and access her unusual perspective on a reality often experienced by marginalized women.
