Synopsis

We’ll open the festival with the world première of Flora and Fauna of Movement, an audiovisual work commissioned by Animac from the Estampa collective in Barcelona and based on this year’s tag line, “We, Animals”. The piece, assembled and scored live by the artists, explores life through a new lens of movement and the metamorphosis of natural elements.

The best sign of life is movement in all its forms, and we can already sense mankind’s need to capture it in cave paintings. In this projection, we retrace the history of this chimera, from 19th century chronophotography (from Edward Muybridge to Etienne Jules Marey) to current AI models (of posture or position detection), through animation (from rotoscoping to cartoons). We turn our encyclopaedic ambition into a journey through living organisms, their shapes and colours, in search of an animated portrait of the frenetic life on our planet, ours, that of all animals.

Integrating animation, digital art, and a soundscape created especially for the event by Lleidan musician Josep Maria Baldomà, Estampa draws us into an original and timeless performance.
