multimedia concert
couleurs is a song cycle: it is a love story seen through colors where each song is a color.
> listen to the album
the translations of the songs are projected live, like at the opera house. the lyrics are slightly animated and projected onto a transparent screen above the stage. each song starts with a plain rectangle of color like a rothko's painting and develops into a very discreet subdued choregraphy of words. the texts are easy to read and act as a"corps de ballet" : as the chorus of a ballet company, they enhance the presence of the principal performer.
- nicole owns her own holomirage screen and retro projector.
- she launches the subtitles as she sings by pressing onto a miniature pedal hidden under her luminous gown.
- she accompanies herself on her new transparent luminous accordion, the "lincordian" designed by british artist, paul étienne lincoln. she performs solo or as a duo or trio with cellist and/or keyboardist.
