With Bach To 3D, Soizic Lebrat continues to experiment with sound art that is in tune with the times and accessible to all. Here, she presents a singular, hybridized composition inspired by Bach's first suite for solo cello, a universal and timeless work. On stage, three cellists and a sound engineer.
Equipped with headphones, spectators are immersed in an immersive sound system, and invited to listen to sound in motion and in three dimensions.
Atomized, multiplied, extended and deconstructed in cubist fashion, Bach's familiar score is reinvented in our ears, gradually revealing a new, coherent work.
A fascinating, intimate and singular listening experience.
Thanks to an innovative playing and listening device, Bach To 3D integrates the spatialization of sound through the moving bodies of the three cellists and the dancer. This approach radically renews the interpretive approach to Bach's work, while offering audiences new auditory sensations of immersion and spatiality.
Bach To 3D is a creation from the Radiophonium research-creation project.

"Interior night or almost. On stage, a dancer and three musicians at the three corners of a triangle that sometimes traces lines of light. The spectators wear headphones, immersed in the sound. It carries and transports. String rubbing, vibrations, rustling, the dancer's breath... It's as if movement and sound were one and the same. (...)
Bach To 3D is a strange, unidentified object that makes you lose your bearings... A moment out of time, a delightful interlude of poetry."
