<p>Le Bal de Paris de Blanca Li is an immersive, participative and interactive project intended to be experienced in full body awareness together with 10 spectators and 2 professional dancers performing the main characters in a physical space.  This is the live multi user version which can be experienced during the Venice Film Festival, at Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello, in addition to the online version  included in the official VR program of the Venice Film Festival, which is a standalone single user approach of the live one.</p><p>In Le Bal de Paris de Blanca Li, we find Adèle who celebrates her coming home to Paris with a great ball organized by her parents in her honor. Pierre, one of the guests, will change the course of the party.</p><p>Each spectator will first choose his/her Chanel costume, and personalized Avatar, and he will then be invited to follow Adèle’s love story unfolding in three acts. Main characters played by the dancers will guide the spectator through a virtual and fantastic universe, with three main locations to party: a monumental ballroom, a magical garden party, and a Parisian club. Breathtaking transitions are staged on a lake and aboard a train.</p><p>Music and dance merge with virtual reality to offer you an innovative, festive, artistic and spectacular experience.</p><p>A universe as poetic as it is fantastic, imagined by Blanca Li.</p><p>A production from Compagnie Blanca Li in collaboration with BackLight and exclusive partnership with CHANEL.</p>
