Sable en scèneLive sand art - performing arts

Visual creations for the symphonic stage

Visual storytelling composed with the music

Marina Sosnina creates a live sand narrative that accompanies the score without overpowering it. Images emerge, transform and disappear in the same breath as the music.

On European symphonic stages since 2007

01

Beginning with your programme

Every project begins with the music: its form, phrasing and inner rhythm. The visual creation is then shaped with the conductor, orchestra and, where relevant, the narrator or stage director.

A strong visual presence with a light technical footprint

The performance is drawn on a light table. An overhead camera sends the live image to the venue screen. Marina brings her artistic setup, and integration is prepared directly with the orchestra’s technical team.
