ALEA(s)
[Text available only in English] ALEA(s) is an audiovisual collective based in Brussels joining the forces of illustrator FSTN, musician and synth manufacturer Shakmat and motion graphic designer Boris Wilmot.

Born from the will to offer a unique live experience, ALEA(s) delivers boiling, improvised performances mixing live drawing, video animation and electronic music.

Surrounded by their audience, the three members are busy creating their show, without any safety net. While the complex, loaded electronic music fills the room, the illustrator’s physical implication in his drawings and the hypnotic animations projected onto the big screen unite to finish this well-rounded show.

ALEA(s) performances are often described as immersive, intense and crafted.

What is needed

- ALEA(s) plays on a table : 2m long / 1 to 1.5m wide and about 0,9m high (i.e. a stage
practicable). The table must be perfectly stable. Artists stand on both sides of the table, in profile to the
audience.

- The floor around the illustrator should be protected (I.E. with a tarpaulin)

- The artists need an extension plug with 6 x 230V plugs.

- The musician plugs in to the main mixer through 2 stereo XLR or 2 stereo jacks.

- The videast outputs a HDMI to the VP.
- The video projector must have a minimum resolution of 1920*1080
- The projection screen needs to be at least 3m wide and preferably within a 4/3 ratio

It should stand at least 1.5m above the ground and maximum 4m away from the artists
table.
Whatever the resolution, the bigger the screen, the most impressive is the performance.

- Unless discussed otherwise, ALEA(s) plays in the dark. No light stage except for the screen
and their own lights.

- The soundsystem must be of reasonnable power, in adequation with the space the
performance is showed in.
It must have a subwoofer and must allow a minimum sound volume of 98dB.
- A median volume of 98dB is required during the performance. It has to be loud !
