Arca ostinata
17 - 18 Feb 2022
The event is over
Arca ostinata is an opera made for a single instrument (the theorbo), both a soloist and its own accompaniment, from which images emerge evoking the phantasmagoria that have celebrated it over time. A theorbo that dreams itself as architecture, an alcove with multiple resonances, that rises up progressively around its player the better to embrace them.
Here, taut strings hum in sympathy, while elsewhere the light streaming through rose windows reveals other worlds. From a simple instrument, a whole edifice of sound unfurls as its wooden lacework reinvents shadow play.
Through a series of mirages, the theorbo embodies the whole history of plucked string instruments. Its timbre changes, varying exponentially to the point of transcending its own form to resonate in the surrounding architecture.

Nino Laisné graduated from the Bordeaux school of fine arts in 2009, where he specialised in photography and video. He also studied traditional South American music with guitarist Miguel Garau. The desire to combine film, music and contemporary art grew out of this period. He focussed on marginal identities that develop in the shadow of official history, but also on oral traditions when they are subjected to uprooting. As early as 2010, with Os convidados, his images became sound, evoking traditional song. In 2013, his film En présence (piedad silenciosa) crystallized the balance between visual writing and musical writing around religious reminiscence in Venezuelan folklore. This creation also marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration with musicians Daniel and Pablo Zapico, with whom he works regularly around old musical scores.
With Folk Songs (2014) and Esas lágrimas son pocas (2015) he engages in documentary-like forms exploring musical traditions in the phenomena of migration. His projects have led him to exhibit in many countries, such as Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Egypt, China and Argentina. His video creations are also presented in cinemas and festivals, including the FID Marseille, the FIAC Paris, the Papay Gyro Nights Festival of Hong Kong, the Toluca International Film Festival and the Festival Periferias in Huesca. In 2017 he created the show entitled Romances inciertos, un autre Orlando, the result of his meeting François Chaignaud, which they presented notably at the 72nd Festival of Avignon. In 2019, for his new monographic exhibition in the Franche-Comté FRAC, Nino Laisné presented the Air des infortunés, a film that revisits an historical imposture with Cédric Eeckhout and Marc Mauillon.
