Beyond theatre, beyond technology
The Sutherland Test is an immersive performance at the crossroads of theater and digital arts.
Organized in a public space, it brings together 16 participants responding to the invitation of a startup specializing in transcendence technologies. The participants are there to test their brand new revolutionary immersion device: the BUD (Black Up Display), a polysensory optical occultation prosthesis.
Thanks to these diverted Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, they will discover the true intentions of the group that supervises them, gradually realizing that they are now at the heart of a process gradually realizing that they are now at the heart of a process with a deeper aim...
Born in 1978, Adelin Schweitzer lives and works in Marseille. He graduated in 2004 from the École Supérieure d'Art d'Aix-en-Provence and until then pursued a polymorphic artist career at the crossroads between immersive performances, audiovisual experiments and new technologies. Adelin takes part in the artistic avant-garde filiation of Rimini Protokoll, Tinguely, Marc Pauline from S.R.L, Stelarc. Drawing from science-fiction imagery and cognitive sciences, the artist designs over time the outlines of a singular and forward-looking universe.
In 2015 he created deletere, a production and transmedia experimentation laboratory based in Marseille. It is now as an artist associated with deletere that he continues his research on technological deceleration, techno-shamanism and experiential art.
deletere is an association that produces and distributes multimedia works and performances that question the public's relationship with Machines.
Founded by Adelin Schweitzer in 2013 in Marseille, deletere laboratories now host a production office, a shared workspace, a digital manufacturing workshop, and a sound experimentation stage.
Located in the heart of the Belle de Mai district, within the Le Couvent third-place since 2017, in five years
the laboratoires deletere have become the place for transmedia artistic experiments linked to the
practice of digital arts in Marseille.
Artocrite Theatre, founded by six enthusiastic graduates of the School of Drama of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts
in 2010, began as a project-based theatre group. Since 2020, the company runs as a nonprofit-making charity organisation in Hong
Kong. It is now a full-time and professional theatre company aspiring to share its beliefs and productions with a wider
audience in the global community.
The company produced a number of award-winning pieces: An Angel Dumped into New City (2016), “Awakening Series” trilogy Sin, The Truth from Liar and Eve (2016-2019). Their works were shown in the UK (Edinburgh Festival Fringe), South Korea, and Japan, including the co-production Me and Sailor Moon in a Subway Trip (2018).
