Citadel

For the Gran Konser at La Citadelle in Port Louis I turned the old fortress into a drawing: tunnels, walls, cannons and portraits came alive while the concert played.

Improvised

Tunnels and walls were drawn on the spot — the stone dictated the shapes, and the drawings changed through the evening.

How it works

Three steps, all live.

Walk

Projectors placed inside the tunnels and on the parade ground, each with its own wall.

Draw

Characters, eyes and plants drawn live onto the stone, the arches and the cannons.

Play

Visitors walk into the portraits and become part of the drawing.

For organisers

Surface: Historic walls, tunnels, courtyards — the rougher the better.
Projector: Several compact projectors, one per wall or tunnel.
Time: Setup in daylight, show from sunset.
Audience: Visitors walk through the installation.
