RAVE-L Party
Rave-L Party premiered on March 23, 2025 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. It began its tour, travelling to Classiquisime in Megève to the Ruhrtriennale in Germany will continue at La Seine Musicale, la Fondation Fiminco, the Holland Festival, among other international venues.
Alongside Gordon, Sarah co-directed the Maurice Ravel / Electro performance that was been commissioned by the Theatre du Chatelet and l’Enseble les Apaches. Conceived of by Artistic Director Julien Masmondet for a 20 person orchestra and the DJ/Producer Tatyana Jane, the performance invites everyone to let music move them.
Sarah collaborated closely with creative technologist Alexandra R to deconstruct and transform videos of her dancing in motion capture and Kinect 3D into material that the digital artist could manipulate in real-time during the performance.
As the concert musically builds like Ravel’s Bolero, we tell the story of a factory born during the Industrial Revolution, housing bodies exhausted by labor that were gradually replaced by machines and automation. We watch as the factory becomes abandoned, echoing with ghosts of the past until a new generation rediscoveres it, transforming this space once marked by hardship into a place of renaissance, where electronic music resonates and bodies sweat from joy.
