Where the Light Touches, the Sound Awakens

Audiovisual Performance with Interactive Light-Responsive Soundscape System

Light doesn't just illuminate.
It listens. It invites. It awakens.

In Where the Light Touches, the Sound Awakens, audience members become co-creators—waving flashlights, painting with brightness, and shaping a shared soundscape in real time. Each beam becomes a brushstroke across a living canvas of music and motion.

The system sees. It responds. A gesture here brings forth a tone. A flicker there ripples across the projection. Even the softest movement carries weight—transforming space, transforming sound.

Alongside a live improvising performer, the audience animates the piece. There are no instructions, no choreography. Only light. Only presence.

It’s not about performance.
It’s about participation.
About resonance.
About a moment that didn’t need to happen—
But once it did, you won’t forget.
