Nabaztag Opera
October 22nd, 2007100 Nabaztag smart rabbits, brought by their owners, meet in the same spirit of the flashmobs, to all play together an opera specially composed by Antoine Schmitt et Jean-Jacques Birgé. Inviting John Cage, Steve Reich, Conlon Nancarrow and György Ligeti, this musical and choreographic partition in three movements, transmitted via wi-fi, plays on the tension between the music ensemble communion and individual behavior to create a strong and involved showpiece. This opera questions the issues of how to be together, of organization, decision and control, which are increasingly central and delicate in our contemporary world.
