As the trace of a paintbrush it becomes spectrum, actor and leitmotiv of a comic strip , turning itself permeable to situations, travels, invents scores, des rhythms and states of the day.
Activated by performer and choreographer Gilles Viandier, Street Pantone becomes a singular duet in the common space, creating ephemeral monumental installations, in a travelling form, linked to the context, history and identity of heritage places, cities or landscapes invested, interacting with the audience and the inhabitants.
With Street Pantone, each installation opens a singular time and space for a choreographic performance where the physically and musically (voice/singing) committed body can benefit from the site, and might evoke a sailor with his sail, a painter and his color, a traveler and his load, a faun and a nymph, a worker on his scaffolds, an architect with his lines and measures…
