At a gala evening, a well-known actor cracks under pressure, tormented by the incisive thoughts of his vampiric double. An unidentified cinematic object adapted from the play of the same name, Le Partage visualizes, through sound and animation, the sharp monologue of the actor and playwright Emmanuel Schwartz.
For this visual conception, we've been meticulously crafting a 3D double of the actor. This avatar was not merely a digital twin, but an essential narrative element that embodied the actor's internal torment. These digital images were then projected into a kinetic scenography to create a fluid, immersive experience where the physical and digital realms intertwined, enhancing the haunting monologue with visual depth and a palpable sense of restlessness.
