Septentrion

About

Septentrion is a performance project involving psychoacoustics, dance, singing, clown work and improvisation.
Developed in 2013 by Yvan Volochine as research on the subconscious.

Septentrion performances, or actions, can be seen as physical tests as well as multi-sensorial experiences, putting the audience in heavy emotional states, from stress to delight.
Music and sounds also play an important role in the performances. All musical pieces are written or recorded by Yvan Volochine. When needed, self-made controllers, sensors and single-board micro-computers are used.
Actions can be driven by the location history and culture, but not necesarily. They are the result from an intensive work on improvisation, breathing and energy.
Actions are designed to be ephemeral and their documentation is rare.

Audience discretion is advised.
