Biographie
Louison Valette graduated from the National High Conservatory of Music and Dance of Lyon (CNSMD de Lyon) in contemporary dance. She created the structure Phonème, which allows her to articulate an artistic language within a plural relationship between sound creation, visual arts and choreography. Her tools of expression allow her to translate the link between sound and language, encompassing an approach to gesture and dance from transdisciplinary points of view. Her research is tied to sociological, philosophical and sometimes linguistic principles.
Avec LA440, le son devient une force qui guide, contraint et transforme les corps. Portés par la fréquence du diapason, les interprètes oscillent entre l’envie de s’accorder et la tentation de suivre un rythme imposé. A la fois expérience physique et immersion sonore, le spectacle interroge nos standards, nos habitudes d’écoute et notre rapport intime aux vibrations du monde. À partir du LA 440, fréquence devenue norme mondiale, la création explore la standardisation de nos écoutes, de nos corps et de nos rythmes de vie. Portée par la répétition et la boucle, la danse se confronte à un gabarit sonore qui contraint autant qu’il libère. Entre harmonie et chaos, attention et lâcher-prise, les deux interprètes cherchent des espaces de résistance. Dans ce dispositif immersif, le corps devient à la fois récepteur, acteur et révélateur de notre rapport au réel.
LA440 aborde les questions d’écoute et de standardisation à travers la fréquence du diapason. Conditionnés par un dispositif sonore les corps oscillent entre l’effort de s’accorder et la facilité de suivre un gabarit qui se répète inéluctablement. LA440 propose l’expérience d’un espace d’écoute, sonore et physique, autour de l’orchestration de notre quotidien, de nos standards musicaux et de nos sensations intimes liées à la perception du son et des fréquences.
With LA440, sound becomes a force that guides, constrains and transforms bodies. Carried by the frequency of the tuning fork, the performers oscillate between the desire to attune themselves and the temptation to follow an imposed rhythm. Both a physical experience and a sound immersion, the show questions our standards, our listening habits and our intimate relationship with the vibrations of the world. Starting from the A 440, a frequency that has become a global standard, the creation explores the standardization of our listening, our bodies and our rhythms of life. Driven by repetition and the loop, the dance confronts a sonic template that constrains as much as it liberates. Between harmony and chaos, attention and letting go, the two performers seek spaces of resistance. In this immersive setup, the body becomes at once receiver, actor and revealer of our relationship to reality.
LA440 explores questions of listening and standardization through the frequency of the tuning fork. Conditioned by a sonic dispositif, bodies oscillate between the effort of tuning themselves to one another and the ease of conforming to a template that repeats itself relentlessly. LA440 offers the experience of a space for listening—both sonic and physical—centered on the orchestration of our everyday lives, our musical standards, and the intimate sensations tied to our perception of sound and frequency.
