Pas De Deux

I worked as a project manager and editor for Pas De Deux, a two-channel video installation by Roberto Fassone conceived as a coreography for two videos.

Installed on a theatre stage, the piece is a psychedelic trip that orchestrates a multitude of fragments engaging with dreams, stock footage, post-internet, lockdown experiences and the history of cinema.

The challenge of the project was to treat video editing in coreographic terms, considering each video screen a performer in its own right. For such purpose I have developed a live editing workflow that could respond to an ever-evolving script and be implemented live on stage.

Pas De Deux is a project by Roberto Fassone. Soundtrack by Lucia Battista and audio mix by Francesco Fonassi.

The work was produced by Lo schermo dell’arte as part of Artists’ Film Italia Recovery Fund and co-produced by Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, Mattatoio | Progetto Prendersi cura.
