« Le bruit des autres » is a performance that places the spectator in the position of an actor, through the use of an audio-visual device. Once the experience has begun, you are invited to enter a fictional bus or train compartment and sit down. Over the course of the 12-minute demonstration, guided by the narrator's voice, you will be asked to play your own role or another passenger. The soundtrack offers you the chance to experience an abbreviated and secret encounter with an unknown person. The story is inspired by Charles Baudelaire's "A une passante (1855)".
This work is a personal suggestion of how we can use audio guide in a performative environment. “Le bruit des autres” is an intimate story that highlights our relationship with others. The aim of this experience is to become aware of the small stories hidden in our daily lives, but also the immersive potential of personal listening. The experience opens up a boundless range of possibilities for staging, acting and audience relations.
