Formosus
2019
Organic & Bloodynose | Visual concert

A unique experiment combining design, music and video art in an inclusive physical space. Art speaks directly to the audience, without any filters.

Synopsis
The forgotten story of Pope Formosus, fled from Rome because accused of treason, refugee in France as a heretic, redeemed and glorified at the papal throne. At last, exhumed for a trial, in the collective hysteria of the 897’s Cadaver Synod.
The epic of the damned pope will be the starting point for a space-time leap to a dystopian future, to reflect on the relation between human beings and history.

Behind the Production

Multivision experience.

Bloodynose wraps the audience with a video-art work played on 8 led wall screens. They are like moving polyptychs staging powerful allegories and mysterious atmospheres, travelling through the historical journey of a man. The symbol of the spiritual and philosophical journey of the whole mankind.
The different narrative levels and the single shots run together on multiple screens, thus overcoming the cinematic concept of editing.
The audience is free to build its own movie depending on the position taken inside the basilica.
