As every year, L.E.V. Festival, in a collaboration with Centro Cultural Antiguo Instituto, located in the city center, programs a free-access installation from 2 to 12 May. His creator, Guillaume Marmin, works in installations and performances which promote the exploration of light, sound and space. His works mean a renaissance of visual creation, freed from conventional narrative restrictions and mainstream media. Either by researching science issues or using a mysterious symbolism, his creations put the spotlight on our relationship with light.
That is the case of Oh Lord, an audiovisual installation created in collaboration with the Observatory of Paris Meudon and the Grenoble Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics, using several databases about sun observation and real images provided by the SDO Satellite to create a device that materializes and animates light beams. In our time of environmental and energetic challenges, this star is placed, more than ever, in the center of our fears and hopes.

LOREM is a music-driven multidisciplinary practice by Italian musician, visual artist and independent researcher Francesco D’Abbraccio. During the last years, he has established himself as a leading figure in the field of machine learning applied to arts.
His project Distrust Everything invites us to use our imagination as a way to escape from the realism that hampers our language and experience, using a multichannel installation which explores the relationship between human unconscious and the algorithmic one. The project is based on the data obtained by artist and researcher Mirek Hardiker, who spent 21 years compiling transcriptions of dreams. Now these data feed the neural networks which shape the narrative of this aesthetic production, as intense as disturbing.

As a first this year, on Wednesday 1 and Thursday 2 May, Caja Escénica del Teatro de la Laboral will host one of the most relevant names in the world of contemporary scenic arts: Romeo Castellucci, famous worldwide for creating theatre plays based on the entirety of arts, and oriented towards an integral perception.
At L.E.V. Festival, he will showcase The Third Reich, a frantic, performative video installation based on the spectral representation of all the substantives included in the Italian dictionary, translated to Spanish and projected on a gigantic screen at a very fast pace, one by one, to force the audience into losing their perception.
With sound composed by experimental electro-acoustic musician Scott Gibbons, this project is the image of an imposed, mandatory communication; of the explicit violence of a single, mass-produced language. The furious bundle of words used here does not allow any choice or judgment. The core of language transformed into white noise, leading to chaos.
