This year le Théâtre du Trillium, in collaboration with the Interactive Studio of the National Film Board of Canada and Zones Théâtrales, will inaugurate its research laboratory in digital creation. This national research laboratory explores the endless potentials of the encounter between live arts and the digital world.
For its first year, the laboratory will focus on the role of live art in the articulation of a creative vocabulary in the field of virtual reality. Whether it is to create immersive original works, pieces accompanying stage creations, or to immerse audiences at the heart of creation and its processes, our goal is to enable artists to discover and innovate with the new artistic possibilities of this ultra contemporary medium. This massive project will accompany on a conceptual and technological level, a series of projects interested in creating a dialogue between live art and virtual reality.
A/R_V is a unique initiative that plunges artists and audiences in the heart of research and creation, convinced that it is the role of live art to breathe a soul into technology.
