Palimpsest explores the poetic potential of the language of audio-description**. Collected within a smartphone app, a series of sound pieces geolocated in Nyon and the surrounding region invite you to a stroll. Audiences become actors, unwittingly projected onto the stage of a temporary theatre. The performers are absent. Subtly evoked in a hyper-realist narration, they loom here and there in your imagination like ghosts haunting the surrounding landscape. The composition and storyline focus on proximity and intimacy with the listener/stroller and aim to bring to life physically absent figures. The Palimpsest app will remain active after the festival. You can also continue the experience in Lausanne, where other geolocated sound pieces are available.
* A technique that consists of orally describing the visual elements of a work or an event to a blind or visually-impaired audience.
