A discovery in augmented reality
A journey of approximately 45 minutes allows curious people to come and discover the work around several workshops, including one in augmented reality. “It’s a game of hot and cold sound. You are projected into Berlioz’s head, in the heart of a dark forest and must move around to find all the instruments necessary to help him finish his work” explains Lisa Brizio , cultural mediator.
5 workshops to discover the work
Through 5 different workshops, it will be possible to learn more about the origin of this symphony, the fantastic bestiary that composes it, as well as the exceptional character of this avant-garde work for its time and which remains , still, one of the most performed works in the world.
