Les Boréades
Portland Institute for Contemporary Art
Les Boréades reimagined the classical concert format through an immersive performance combining chamber music with real-time visual environments. Staged inside PICA’s warehouse space, the production replaced traditional fixed seating with a rotating audience experience surrounding a circular orchestra arrangement.
Projected volumetric landscapes — generated from photogrammetric scans and rendered in real time using custom Unity-based tools — responded dynamically to the performance. Visual compositions evolved alongside musical cadence, allowing light, motion, and sound to operate as a unified instrument.
The project explored new possibilities for contemporary concert presentation, inviting audiences to experience classical works through movement, spatial awareness, and evolving perspective.
